Direct Democracy Party of New Zealand
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Direct Democracy Party of New Zealand is a New Zealand political party which promotes greater participation in government by ordinary citizens. It aims to establish a system of binding referendums similar to that used by Switzerland. It also promotes a scheme designed to cancel the outstanding principal amounts of bank loans taken out by homeowners.
The party's leader is Kelvyn Alp. Tenth on their party list is Kyle Chapman, the former national director of the New Zealand National Front, and twentieth is Anton Foljambe, a Christchurch National Front founder.
In 2005 the Direct Democracy Party gained official registration as a political party, and contested the 2005 elections. They fielded a 32 member party list, and obtained 717 votes, or 0.04% of the total vote, failing to get any MPs into parliament.
