TiME for CHANGE - Politics for the People
It is time to question and reform political practice, in New Zealand, and internationally.
We aim to open discussion, to get people thinking about politics from a different perspective, the perspective where it is the People who need to be consulted, the People need to have their voices heard, the People collectively have the power. We pursue political reform in New Zealand, a small country by many standards, yet large enough to be able to change political practices borne hundreds of years ago and bring forth a cohesive system whereby all eligible voters have a voice that will be heard on all important decisions.
We welcome constructive feedback on any and all proposed fundamental elements as we believe that a collective mind would be able to look at a problem from many different angles and eventually we'll reach a solution that will work effectively. The fundamental elements we have published are our first iteration (as at 16 November 2023) and will likely change over the course of time given feedback.
TiME for CHANGE - Our Philosophy
At its core, our philosophy values the importance of hearing the voice of the people, benefiting all individuals, fostering creativity, and treating all peoples as equals. We believe that by embracing these principles, we can create a better world for everyone.
Firstly, we recognize that every person has a unique perspective and valuable insights to contribute. We are committed to actively listening to the voices of individuals from all walks of life, understanding their needs, concerns, and aspirations. By doing so, we aim to foster an inclusive and participatory society where everyone feels heard and valued.
Moreover, our philosophy emphasizes the well-being and progress of all people. We strive to create a society that promotes fairness, equality, and social justice. We believe that by ensuring that the benefits of progress are accessible to all, we can reduce inequalities and provide equal opportunities for individuals to thrive.
Creativity is a fundamental aspect of human expression, and we encourage and celebrate it in all its forms. We believe that by nurturing creativity, we can unlock innovative solutions to challenges, spur economic growth, and enhance the overall quality of life. We support educational systems and environments that foster imagination, curiosity, and the freedom to explore new ideas.
Lastly, we firmly believe in treating all peoples as equals, irrespective of their race, gender, religion, or any other characteristic. We reject discrimination, prejudice, and inequality in all its forms. We advocate for a society that upholds human rights, respects diversity, and ensures that every individual has equal access to opportunities, resources, and justice.
By embracing these values, we aspire to create a society that is inclusive, fair, sustainable, and respectful of the dignity and worth of every person, creating a better world for ourselves and future generations.
