The New Zealand First election campaign may have begun, and Winston Peters believes the party is marching forward with practical solutions.

MPs and supporters gathered in Palmerston North over the weekend for the party's annual conference.

Members discussed 55 remits, which could end up being policy proposals in next year's election campaign.

Party Leader Winston Peters told Mike Hosking NZ First is compellingly different from other parties, doing the right thing for Kiwis.

He says the party sits in the middle, is pragmatic, and talks about common sense solutions.
