Who We Are

The Blue-Liberals group has been established to advocate for socially liberal values and policies within the National Party.

Our core commitment is to economic and social freedom, responsible government and national identity with diversity.

Although stated easily enough, these things involve striking a sometimes difficult balance. Social and economic freedom must be balanced against individual responsibility and the need to ensure an equitable marketplace. Responsible government does not mean 'no government', but government where and when it is needed to bring about positive outcomes. Diversity must be balanced against the need to uphold the unifying values of New Zealand society.
