Short excerpt from a YouTube video titled "DAVID SEYMOUR: ACT'S plan for AOTEAROA" in which David Seymour (ACT party) outlines the party's central mission: to reduce government activity and transfer responsibilities to civil society and private enterprise, arguing those sectors are more efficient and that government tends to self-expand, eclipsing other societal activity.

I think what's really important for ACT, and it's a strength of our party, is that we do come from a clear sense of mission and that is that we want to cut back the amount of government activity in favour of civil society and business or private enterprise activity. So we want to shift from one bucket to the other two because we think they're more efficient and we think government has a way of being self fulfilling, so it often grows and eclipses other areas of activity in the society.
