The New Zealand Representative Party was a political party in New Zealand. The party's leader was Reg Turner, a former candidate for the ACT Party.〔 〕 The party claimed to have no policies and to oppose traditional left-right politics.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nzrepresentativeparty.co.nz/ ) 〕 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.〔 It is thus better described as a right-wing party. The NZRP believed that list MPs in New Zealand's mixed member proportional electoral system are not properly accountable to voters. As a result, it would run only electorate candidates, and promised to support the party chosen by the majority of the electorate.〔 The party applied to register its logo with the Electoral Commission,〔 but the application was refused as the logo could confuse voters.〔 〕 The party ran only a single candidate in the 2008 election. By 2010, its website was defunct. It did not run any candidates in the 2011 election. ==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「New Zealand Representative Party」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
