Be the Party of Long-Term, Strategic & Big Thinking Ideas
ie. As a non-career politician, with "nothing to lose" I suggest keeping all your policies in the long-term & big thinking category. The things beyond one election. ie. Pushing for longer term big thinking change re superannuation, climate change & energy, taxation & UBI, health and immigration planning.
Do you like this suggestion?

Dennis Ingram commented 2016-12-03 17:30:27 +1300We could take a leaf out of the Chinese playbook and develop 5-year plans – and 25-year plans. Easier for them of course, but we should at least try even though the next election may mean a different party with different ideas. If we don’t have a plan for going somewhere, we won’t get anywhere fast.

Robert Murray commented 2016-11-30 22:10:52 +1300I don’t think many voters care about long term aspirations because they are so easily sacrificed to the demands of short term practicalities and any long term plan is likely to be countered by the opposing party when it gets into government.
Also, we would be playing into the hands of the major party eliciting our support who could promise everything – later!
Take a leaf from Winston: any support promised is only on immediate delivery of a TOP requirement with a contract for implementation. -

Robert Powell commented 2016-11-30 11:16:33 +1300If you guys haven’t done so already, watch the Scandinavian series BORGEN. Series three deals with starting up a new political party, and half the battle was sifting out the wheat from the chaff with regards to policy suggestions. People who want free range eggs and no GST on veges need to join the greens. Stick with the issues you have identified through your research and those items suggested here.
