Former National Party candidate James Christmas is seeking selection as an ACT candidate in Auckland’s Tāmaki electorate, marking a notable political shift after previously being tipped for senior roles including Attorney-General.
A barrister with experience advising former Prime Ministers Sir John Key and Sir Bill English, Christmas told legacy media his move was a “positive decision” based on where he could make the greatest contribution, rather than any fallout with National.
Backed by ACT leader David Seymour, who has not ruled out a future leadership role, Christmas brings strong credentials in constitutional and Treaty matters and aligns himself with ACT’s “classical liberal values”, citing its stance on individual liberty and economic reform as key reasons for the switch.

ACT is looking more and more like a LGBTQ liberal party.
The political party system is the problem, not the solution.
Direct democracy, based on the Swiss model, would put the decision making directly in the hands of the people. The government would then administer the decisions, and represent the country in overseas forums. When representatives of the government are visited by, or visit overseas politicians or events i.e. UN, WHO, WEF meetings, they would need to say that they will they will put the proposals on the agenda for a direct vote by the population – they would not be able to unilaterally sign off on anything that has not been approved by the citizens of the country.
Unlike the political party system where no end of shady deals are concluded e.g. the COVID scamdemic.
You sound like a potential TOP voter.
But TOP don’t know what a woman is, do you?
NOT trustworthy, as anyone who supports the current Uni-Party Coalition Government is either delusional or compromised in some way ($)…
Besides…the Zionist Deep State always hides their legal and political assets away from the view of the voters…
Remember; Jooish ‘Sir’ JK quietly signed-off on secret warrantless searches of homes, etc.and this is who Chriostmas advised!

Not supporting the globalist party’s. Strikes me though, that National are losing support, is not a bad thing. May send a signal to the smaller party’s they need to change if they don’t want to to meet a similar fate, over time.
And the winner is…. the military church orders (Knights of Malta/Jesuits) of the Roman Catholic Church’s – The New Zealand Company.
And…the United States Corporation under Admiralty Law which will soon be displaced by Noahide Law & Talmudic Enforcement.

The New Zealand public votes parties out. Poor performance, not addressing the public concerns. Bad behaviour. Very poor economy. Nut-case ideas, race and gender bias, wasteful spending.
More importantly putting in place policies that were never campaigned upon. Such practice has no public mandate. I agree, situations from time to time pop up. However things like. GE is very unpopular. It gives cause for citizens to vote parties out.
Does the public have memory. Yes. Both short and long term, some for life. Getting rid of unpopular politicians by their own party gos someway to vindicate public sentiment.
Labour hasn’t got rid of Hipkins. A little man who is still campaigning injections into people who, with clear fact driven reason, don’t want them. I cant thing of a more violent policy that that. Hipkins time is over. Yes he was PM for a period, but his own party voted him to be PM and not the public. Zero democracy there.
I voted Labour out last time.
I thnk it time for Winston Peters to step into PM position. Thinking how nice it would be to have a person with older family values, a much deeper understanding of what people are thinking about race based politics.
ACT and NZ First were limited by the coalition partner National, only some policies were implemented.
If either of these two parties were to introduce set binding referendums, they would have a mandate from the people. A policy that works for the people. A true democratic society.
