AMPP: it's a party!👍
Amanda Michelina's Progressive Party is a vision that I had for furthering my political goals. Essentially, it's like McGillicuddy Serious Party, except I genuinely believe in the ideas. If I can find 500 paying members by early 2026, then we'd all get a share of the allocation of broadcasting money from the Electoral Commission to allow us to properly phreak the next election for light rather than fright.
Ideally, we should be fairly decentralised to maintain the guerilla activism element that is crucial to the formation of this Party. This is a way to scale up the message that I've spent several thousand dollars prosletysing for.🥝

Why a 'ginger group?'
Aside from my hair, a ginger group is a real term in politics; it means we're here to pep things up, and provide a defiantly left-wing alternative to the ruling class. 🧡🟠

Amanda's statement:
From my perspective, the formation of our Party is merely formalising what's already been happening via my political mischief. Fantasy Parliament isn't particularly related to AMPP's mission of social equity and drug reform, but it's supposed to raise awareness of social issues and poke fun at the foibles of the current parliamentary system, which is one of my core policies.
I'm not particularly sure that I want to get into Parliament, but I totally believe in the electoral reforms that I'm proposing, alongside the 2026 referendum on the Māori King as Head of State, plus my radical drug reform policies.
Yes, I think Aotearoa should be a republic; However, I think that we'd probably lose a referendum on that issue, though, which is why I have proposed the Māori King as a referendum that implies becoming a republic without openly saying it.
Personally, my foreign policies go further than merely becoming a republic, as I'm advocating for leaving the Commonwealth and joining the non-aligned nations.👩💻
I haven't got a Party secretary or any of that stuff yet; so far, it's just me and ChatGPT. 🐝
