Radical manifesto
PA ' Auckland A group calling itself the New Zealand Women's Political Party has released a manifesto containing a radical call—for a Parliament composed equally of men and women.
The group, which has up to 200 non-paying members, including four men. says that if it becomes the Government it will give every elector two votes.
One would be for a man and the other for a woman, with each party being able to put up two candidates. The party's main objective is to have full representation in Parliament "of women by women."
Formed five months ago. the group plans its first annual meeting in Auckland on August 22.
