 New Zealand general election 1981
The 1981 New Zealand general election was a nationwide vote to determine the shape of the New Zealand Parliament.
The National Party had won a landslide victory in the 1975 elections, but in the 1978 elections, although remaining in office, had lost ground.
This was a markedly higher turnout that recorded for the previous election, but as the official statistics for that election are regarded as highly misleading, the comparison is probably not valid.

 New Zealand by-elections
By-elections in New Zealand occur to fill vacant seats in the New Zealand Parliament.
(Note that list MPs do not have geographic districts in which a by-election can be held — if a list MP's seat becomes vacant, it is filled by the next person on his or her party's list.) A by-election need not be held if a general election is scheduled to be held within six months.
Today, by-elections are not particularly common — there has been only one in the current term, and there were none in the previous term.

 DNZB / BIOGRAPHY
From his first election Williamson stood firm for the provincial structure, even occasionally arguing for the complete separation of the Auckland province as well as of the two islands.
In the end he recognised the incompatibility between Vogelism, of which he was the greatest champion in Auckland, and provincialism; but death ended his delaying moves as 'the old family physician' to bring 'life and vigour' into 'this dying province'.
Williamson's electoral successes derived from his appeal to the broken-down pensioners of Howick and Onehunga, struggling Aucklanders of the lower orders, the extractive workers and small farmers of the marginal settlements of the province and, later, the goldminers of Coromandel and Thames.
