In this episode, we begin the discussion of the eight major and minor parties contesting the New Zealand General Election 2020. Taking them in alphabetical order, we start with the ACT New Zealand Party. For each of the eight parties, we provide a brief history, look at the key people involved and where they sit on the political spectrum. We also talk about their websites, slogans and what they're offering in the upcoming election in terms of policy. We finish with an assessment of what we might expect if the party was to be in government following the election.
