The Opportunities Party
Jump to a party
The Opportunities Party is a centrist party that advocates evidence-based policy, and presents itself as an alternative to the two major parties on that basis. Many of TOP’s policies are environmentally focussed and the party has pushed for a universal basic income. TOP was founded by businessman Gareth Morgan to contest the 2017 election but failed to gain any seats. It is now led by Geoff Simmons, an economist and former employee of Morgan’s personal charitable foundation.
