In Brief: Can the Alliance bring back socialism?

The Alliance Party is back – and it wants to bring socialism back to New Zealand politics. But is there room for another party on the left?

Ollie Neas speaks to Alliance leader Victor Billot about the party's plans to revive public ownership, full employment and a bigger role for the state in the economy.

They discuss what separates the Alliance from Labour and the Greens, why Billot believes parts of the left have lost touch with working-class voters, and the Alliance's prospects for becoming a political force once again.
