While this is true a problem with this type of proposition is defining what exactly is meant by being counter to the interests of a particular group. The time horizon over which measurement is made is important too.
For me long term sustainability with inter-generational equity is important and so from my perspective Green is the only party with an active agenda demonstrably counter to the interests of the poor and vulnerable.
And to be clear of my political affiliations: I support National and Maori.
