Thrive New Zealand
Thrive New Zealand, formerly called the Unified New Zealand Party, was a small political party in New Zealand. The party was founded in 2012 by David Ding, a marketing manager.[1]
On 7 November 2012 the party applied to register a logo with the Electoral Commission.[2] The party subsequently changed its name to Thrive New Zealand and registered a substitute logo.[3] As Unified New Zealand, the party opposed asset sales and foreign ownership and supported economic self-sufficiency a return to the gold standard.[4] Following its name change, the party focused strongly on direct democracy and binding citizens-initiated referendums.[5]
The party never stood any candidates for parliament. By January 2017, their website was defunct.
