Be Better Ancestors
Imagine future generations looking back at the choices we make today. Will they be proud of the care we showed and the progress we made together? Let's change how government makes decisions: bring more people into the work, build agreement that lasts, and measure progress towards the future we choose together.
The change we are asking for
If you're elected, work together to make the country better.
That means bringing ideas, challenging weak plans, and helping build decisions the country can stand behind. Give every MP a real part in the work, make influence visible, and measure progress against clear commitments.
See how government could changeHow we move forward
Choose waypoints. Measure progress. Adjust together.
We share a waka, and everyone has a stake in where it goes. We should listen widely, share the work, and make decisions that future generations can understand and be proud of.
- Choose the waypoints
-
Agree on a small number of clear, measurable goals that extend beyond one election.
- Measure the journey
-
Publish milestones, costs, and outcomes each year so everyone can see what is improving and what is falling behind.
- Correct the course
-
Revise plans when evidence changes, while making the reasons and costs public instead of starting from scratch after every election.
A better way to govern
A shared course beyond one government.
Politics for its own sake wastes everyone's time. We want ideas and drive from people across the country, honest debate, and steady work towards goals we choose together.
Work across the House
Give every MP a real chance to improve laws while keeping scrutiny and dissent strong.
Seek broader agreement
Explore 75% support from MPs for passing or changing laws and approving major government spending decisions, with clear rules for deadlock and essential services. See the 74% example.
Plan beyond one term
Explore four-year parliamentary terms, ten-year plans, and term limits that make room for people with fresh ideas.
Show who has influence
Make lobbying contacts, clients, and spending visible in a public register.
