`Tipping point' in New Zealand politics at the grassroots: the Residents Action Movement
The Residents Action Movement (or RAM) is a left-wing
local government electoral ticket in the Auckland Regional Council of New Zealand's largest city. RAM is in the process of becoming a national-level political party to
contest the 2008 elections. RAM can be characterised as as broad left
coalition, stretching from social liberals, community activists and
former National Party members to social democrats, democratic
socialists and left-wing radicals. Its chairperson is currently Grant Morgan, who is also a leading member of Socialist Worker (Aotearoa).
This interview with Grant Morgan, Daphne Lawless (a RAM candidate in last year's Auckland Regional Council election and is a current member of the RAM executive) and Oliver Woods, RAM co-organiser, was recorded by telephone on May 1, 2008, and broadcast by LeftCast.
