In the lead up to the 2020 New Zealand Election, we conducted the YouChoose2020 survey and over 3,500 women, non-binary people, trans women, intersex people, and takatāpui responded. Thank you!
You told us what you want and need from your elected representatives. We have taken the top three issues from each of the sections of the survey and analysed the election manifestos and policies of each of the political parties to see how they stack up.
Here are the results!

KEY
![]() |
If a policy exists that aligns with the proposition Example, if the proposition supported longer paid parental leave, and the party has a policy that explicitly states they support the extension of paid parental leave to x weeks. |
![]() |
The policy talks about the policy area being important, but the party does not offer a specific policy proposal. For example, the party talks about the importance of longer paid parental leave, but does not offer a concrete policy proposal. The party offers conflicting policies in regards to the proposition. For example, if the proposition supports the reduction of carbon emissions, but the party offers one policy which will reduce emissions, but another which will increase emissions. The party offers specifically, explicitly exclusionary policies in regards to the proposition. For example, if the proposition supported paid parental leave, but the party offered such leave for married, but not other, couples. |
![]() |
The party has no policy or does not support the policy position of interest. Example: No policy position. Example: We support the existing paid parental leave entitlement (where the proposition supported more leave). Example: We support removing/rolling back paid parental leave entitlements. |
