As a party and as members of that party, we aim to:
- Act according to our Charter unless something else might get us power
- Respect the planet and the web of life of which we are one party, albeit the one and only party that can save us
- Take the path of
cautionbanning in the face ofseriousany uncertainty about the consequences of human action - Think long term and holistically – or 18 months and ballistically when mid term
- Make decisions by consensus whenever possible but if they don’t agree then our ideals are superior
- Engage respectfully, without personal attacks unless they deserve our derision
- Support ideas on their merit, regardless of where they originate on the left
- Actively respect cultural and individual diversity and celebrate differences that comply with our social views
- Maintain a community focus except where the community is ignorant of our superior aims
- Enable participation with dignity and challenge oppression of our magnificent message
- Encourage new voices and cherish wisdom that must speak against that nasty capitalism
- Recognise our duty of care towards those who cannot speak for themselves, if they cannot speak we will speak for them, all quiet New Zealanders must agree with us, right?
- Foster compassion, a sense of humour and mutual enjoyment in our work, Russel, Russel?
