ACT MPs Rodney Hide and Heather Roy are travelling to Europe on a privately funded fact-finding mission next week.
The duo plan to visit think-tanks in London, including the Institute of Economic Affairs and meet blogger Iain Dale, a centre-right commentator and author of The Little Red Book of New Labour Sleaze.
They will visit leaders and political operatives of third parties like the Progressive Democrats in Dublin and the Free Democrats in Germany.
Mr Hide said the trip would contribute to policy and “the ongoing political reinvention of ACT”.
