opportunities to 2026

The Opportunity Party, formerly known as The Opportunities Party (TOP), is a radical centrist political party in New Zealand. It was founded in 2016 by economist and philanthropist Gareth Morgan. The party is based on the idea of evidence-based policy, with some 2023 policies including achieving a "fair tax system" by implementing a "tax switch" (including a tax-free threshold of $15,000), implementing a "Teal Card", free public transport for young people, and increased healthcare funding for young people, as well as specific investments for the city of Christchurch.
The party received 2.4% of the party vote in the 2017 general election, after which Morgan resigned from the leadership. It received 1.5% of the party vote in the 2020 general election, and 2.2% of the party vote in the 2023 general election. The party won an elected office for the first time in the 2022 local elections, with one member elected to the Featherston Community Board in the South Wairarapa District.
