	Rise and fall of the New Zealand Alliance Party
		A post-election multi-party conference took place in 1991 and later that year the Alliance Party was established, with five constituent parties: the Democrats, Manu Motuhake, New Labour, the Green Party, and the Liberals, a splinter from the Nationals.
		The reality was that the Alliance was beginning to lose momentum because its limited policies and programme were revealing themselves to working-class people and middle layers in society as being incapable of solving their problems.
		For new left formations to succeed they must first and foremost put forward a socialist programme attractive to the poor, to those in work, to women, to youth and to the most oppressed, and also to the small business people and farmers who face ruin under capitalism.

	New Zealand general election 1993 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The 1993 New Zealand general election was a nationwide vote to determine the shape of the New Zealand Parliament.
		The Alliance, the largest "third party", was a broad coalition of five smaller groups - the NewLabour Party (a Labour splinter), the Democrats (a social credit party), the Greens (an environmentalist party), Mana Motuhake (a Maori party), and the Liberal Party (a National splinter).
		This referendum asked voters whether New Zealand's electoral system should be changed from the first-past-the-post system to the MMP system, which would implement proportional representation (and thus make it easier for smaller parties to win seats).

		New Zealand remains the only developed country to have scrapped farm support, a political achievement all the greater given that agriculture is New Zealand’s largest sector.

		The parliamentary parties had a mean score of 3.86 and for the non-parliamentary parties the mean score was 1.5.; While the t-test results showed that the difference between the means of the two groups is not statistically significant (p=.1), there are several points worth examining.
