The Opportunities Party
Where it polls
Poll tracker →The trend puts TOP at 4.2% of the party vote, with a 95% range of 3.1–5.3%. Too close to call — the range straddles the 5% line, so the polling cannot say which side it is on. 5 pollsters report it.
Projected seats
Seat projection →Across the simulations TOP takes 0–6 seats, and is in the House in 8% of runs.
Where it stands
Compare all parties →TOP’s positions in its own words, quoted from its published material — 8 of 8 areas. Where it does not state a position, we say so rather than infer one.
“When groceries feel out of reach, things need to change. The Citizen’s Income will put $370 per week into most adult’s hands – providing the financial security to live well and contribute.”
Tax Reset ↗“The Tax Reset will increase incomes for 70% of New Zealanders.”
Tax Reset ↗“A home is security and stability – the place we build good, productive lives from. But our housing market is broken, with home ownership now out of reach for generations of Kiwis. It's time to make houses homes again, not just investment vehicles.”
Affordable Housing ↗“Our healthcare system is about more than just hospitals. Every $1 spent on primary care (like GPs, practice nurses and midwives) can save upwards of $13 in wider health system costs.”
Healthy People ↗“The world our children will grow up in will be challenging and complex. Education needs to change with the times to ensure our young people are ready.”
Future fit Education ↗“Climate change is real, is caused by human activity and is already here. The decisions we make today will shape how we, our children and grandchildren adapt — or not — to a warming world.”
Climate Action ↗“It costs all of us more than $150,000 a year to house a prisoner. For context, we spend about $9,000 educating a child for a year.”
Smart on Crime ↗“Opportunity takes the responsibility of the Crown as a Treaty partner seriously.”
