Simon Bridges National Party Leader simonbridges.co.nz

If you have been following and contributing to National's ‘Have Your Say' Campaign, I would like to thank you for taking part.

We had a great response from small businesses on what is needed to create future opportunities for them.

Over the next year, we will be asking for your ideas on a number of important issues, as we develop policies together that will benefit all New Zealanders. Yesterday we launched our second ‘Have Your Say' survey. This focuses on rural New Zealanders.

Farmers and growers are massive contributors to our country's success.

National is proud to represent every rural seat in Parliament, except one.

If you are part of the rural community, we know how important sustainable business practices, broadband, rural policing, education and health services are to you.

But we want to hear what your top priorities are.If you are a grower or a farmer and would like to take part, then please go to:

The survey takes about five minutes to complete and I would really like to hear about the policies you are most concerned about and what laws and regulations you would like changed.

Together we can develop a plan to make New Zealand even more successful.
