The Residents Action Movement (or RAM) is a left wing local government
electoral ticket in the Auckland Region of New Zealand that 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). [Source
