Who we are
TEA stands for Taxpayers and Entrepreneurs Alliance. TEA Party has a vision of community where all are included to sit around the table for tea and negotiate their fair share.
TEA Party has been founded by community oriented, migrant friendly, taxpayer and entrepreneur minded non-career politicians to target the center ground of the political landscape, contesting the queen- or kingmaker position in the 2020 general elections and form a coalition with the largest parliamentary party, bringing about the positive change Aotearoa so badly needs.
The board and members consist of various ethnicities and various age groups.
TEA Party is designed as –
- Socially democratic;
- Culturally diversified; and
- Fiscally conservative.
TEA Party has adopted the role of guardian against racism by anyone inside or outside of government who would use racism and fear to gain political power; and will seek to replace racist politicians with fair-minded community members.
