New Zealand Party
Sir,—At its inaugural conference the New Zealand Party is already experiencing the problems which will ultimately bring about its destruction. It is trying to amalgamate the views of members from all points on the political spectrum, and the compromises of principle necessary to achieve this mean that the party will very quickly lose its course. If the New Zealand Party has some socialists as members, then inevitably there will be socialist policy in the New Zealand Party. National Party members need not be smug at this. The same thing destroyed their party years ago. History has the evidence. Party politics have never worked. Wise voters who do not want more socialism will recognise the whole party nonsense for what it is and vote only for an individual who supports limited government, competitive, free enterprise principles. — Yours, etc., L. J. BRAWLEY. March 3, 1984.
