New Zealand First party "making a big mistake" says ALCP
The New Zealand First party is making a big mistake by shutting down it's Social Media pages leading into an election year.
New Zealand First risk alienating the youth vote if they continue to censor its youth wing, ALCP leader Julian Crawford said.
Threatening to strip the membership of the party's youth leader Curwen Rolinson is not a good way to foster new talent in the party.
"Mr Rolinson is clearly the greatest hope for future leadership that New Zealand First has," Mr Crawford said.
"His public speaking abilities far outstripped other youth party leaders on Backbenches TV show and he showed he had what it takes to become a successful MP."
Mr Rolinson and any other young people looking for an alternative to New Zealand First were welcome to join the Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party, Mr Crawford said.
