The Fusion Movement is a new type of political party which inhabits the centre of the political spectrum. Traditional centre parties are Swing Parties- they swing from Left to Right depending on prevailing attitudes and which avenue has the highest likelihood of keeping their jobs. They pursue populist policies and have vague or non-existent principles; as such they are no better a solution than the historic parties. Fusion is a different type of political party. We recognise that the public is fed up with the extreme policies that have been forced upon them by the historic parties, aided by the swing party ‘yes’ men. Fusion is a party of clearly defined principles that are targeted at the middle majority. Fusion is the party of Government for the Multitude, by the Multitude and Protector of the Worst Off. Fusion is a party of consensus building and believes strongly in consultation with relevant stakeholders. As such, Fusion policies are a synthesis of the Left and the Right- a combination of Social Liberal and Traditional Liberal thinking:  Streamlined Government   Government should not be too big or too small. Government should aim to provide essential services to meet the public’s needs, without wasting resources. Big Government is bad because it is intrusive. It wastes resources on programmes and staff that the public doesn’t need. Small Government is bad because it is ineffective. It cuts back on essential resources needed to do the job it claims it is doing. Good Government should aim for an equilibrium.     Success   Success is not a four letter word. Success is a public good that enhances the standard of living. Success is economic success (High levels of GDP per capita, high average wage, high growth, low unemployment, and low inflation) and also social success (Competency in literacy and numeracy, Newspaper and documentary consumption, and a sense of Turangawaewae and wairua).     Liberty   Liberty is a significant sub-set of Justice. Liberty confers a right on an individual to do as they wish as long as they don’t adversely affect the actions of another in the environment they act in. Liberty also confers a responsibility on an individual to avoid or discontinue actions that would adversely affect the actions of another. Any actions that exist outside the realm of Liberty, is a question of Justice.     Justice   Justice recognises that individuals are a part of Society and weighs up competing individual actions and grants priority to each based on moral and normative judgements. There are sub-sets of Justice; such as Liberty, Equality, Distributive Justice, Criminal Justice, et cetera. In the past, these moral judgements have been made by powerful lobby groups that pressure certain political parties in office. These political parties engineer social policy unilaterally without consultation with relevant stakeholders. Fusion believes that the moral and normative judgements should only be made with consultation and consensus building. If necessary, these judgments should be set by national referendum.   Distributive Justice   Our Distributive System is Capitalism. Capitalism confers the right of ownership over a resource improvement to a Capitalist (an individual, or body corporate) through purchase of that resource improvement, or through creating that improvement, for the purpose of generating revenue for the Capitalist, Society and for further improvements to that resource. It also confers a responsibility on the Capitalist to conserve the resource for future generations, although this is frequently ignored by many who think they own the entire resource. The flaw of Capitalism is that it advantages only those with capital and closes opportunities to those without capital. Therefore, Capitalism requires a degree of Robin Hood redistribution from the Capitalists to the worst off. This level is set by the needs of Society.     Equality   Equality is based on the assumption that since we are all human, we all start in the same situation, so nothing artificial should advantage or disadvantage our development. For example; we have the Rule of Law that treats everyone equally and innocent until proven guilty, Equality of Opportunity, and the rejection of any bias based on race, religion, gender or class.     Humanity   An individual is not an island; we are each a part of a family, an ethnicity, a nation, and a global community called Humanity. Although it is acceptable for us to be protective of ourselves, our family and our country based on economic considerations; we should not allow non- economic factors (such as racism and isolationism) to bias our interconnectivity with other members of the Human Race. For example; just because a genocide is occurring on the other side of the World, that is no reason to not get involved.   Immigration   We should not allow emotional factors to decide policy on matters such as immigration. Economic factors can be considered when deciding upon places in New Zealand; such as the ability to speak English, availability of jobs and scarce resources, and the amount of Capital migrants will bring with them. However, non-economic factors (such as the colour of the migrants’ skin, the way they talk, or their particular upbringing) should not bias a potential migrants access to New Zealand. Especially when New Zealand has a shortage of skilled labour and business opportunities.
