The New Zealand Representative Party was a political party in New Zealand. The party's leader was former ACT Party candidate Reg Turner.[1]
The party claimed to have no policies, and to oppose traditional left-right politics.[2] Despite these claims, it also promoted populist referenda, deregulation, compulsory military service, "stopping the culture for young unmarried women to have babies", and restricting the welfare state.[2] It is thus better described as a right-wing party.
The NZRP believes list MPs in New Zealand's mixed member proportional electoral system are not properly accountable to voters. As a result, it will run only electorate candidates, and promises to support the party chosen by the majority of the electorate.[2]
The party applied to register its logo with the Electoral Commission,[1] but the application was refused as the logo could confuse voters.[3]
The party ran only a single candidate in the 2008 election. As of 2010, its website is defunct. It did not run any candidates in the 2011 election.
