The Direct Democracy Party of New Zealand (2005-2009) was a political party in New Zealand that promoted greater participation by the people in the decision-making of government. The party's leader was Kelvyn Alp. The party challenged the current monetary system and promoted solutions to what it called "irredeemable debt."〔 〕 It aimed to establish a system of binding referendums (similar to the ''Landsgemeinde'' used in parts of Switzerland) for all major decisions. The Party also advocated for a New Zealand Constitution to protect and enshrine the rights and freedoms of the people.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New Zealand Constitution Policy )〕 In 2005 the Direct Democracy Party gained official registration as a political party.〔 〕 It fielded 32 party members in the 2005 elections, but won only 782 votes (or 0.03% of the total vote), failing to get any MPs into parliament. The party did not apply for broadcasting funding in 2008, nor did it submit a party list. The official results for the party vote in that year's election recorded no votes for the DDP.〔(Chief Electoral Office: Official Count Results: Overall status )〕 The party's registration was cancelled at its own request on 30 June 2009. Alp went on to found the OurNZ Party in 2011. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Direct Democracy Party of New Zealand」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
