David Seymour says the country needs to move in a different direction and he will make it happen in October’s general election
New Zealand is ready for “real change”, the leader of the country’s Libertarian ACT party said after polling suggested it could be a possible kingmaker in October’s elections.
David Seymour, who has spearheaded the ACT’s Libertarian agenda since becoming party leader in 2014, pledged to reunite a divided New Zealand and address the crime wave and cost of living crisis.
Speaking to The Sunday Telegraph after an opinion poll found increased support for ACT and the National Party, he said: “The poll shows Kiwis want a change of government. ACT’s job is to make sure it’s a government of real change.
He added: “A strong ACT presence means real solutions to the cost of living that keeps rising, the crime that is out of control and an end to dividing New Zealand with co-government.”
