 New Zealand general election 1993 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1993 New Zealand general election was a nationwide vote to determine the shape of the New Zealand Parliament.
The 1993 election saw the National Party win 50 of the 99 seats in parliament, a drop of 14 from before the election (and a drop of 17 from 1990).

 Research in the Department of Political Studies - Faculty of Arts at The University of Auckland, New Zealand
In contrast, the scholarly literature on political leadership in New Zealand, as distinct from the life and times of particular leaders, is remarkably small.
Although a number of books have been published on recent New Zealand prime ministers and other political leaders, they tend to be single-actor narratives and are frequently the work of political journalists.
To this end, the research combines data from media use and voter preferences in the New Zealand Election Study (NZES) voter dataset with an exhaustive analysis of the campaign media content of network television, metropolitan newspapers, and asample of national (commercial and state-owned) radio.

From the Lions' viewpoint, the 1977 tour to New Zealand was memorable chiefly for the all-conquering performances produced by their forward pack.
The 1959 Lions were as popular in New Zealand as their 1950 predecessors, operating on the same philosophy of running every slice of possession that came their way.
