	New Zealand elections - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		New Zealand general elections occur when the Prime Minister requests a dissolution of parliament and therefore a general election.
		New Zealand currently has sixty-nine electorates (including seven Maori electorates, reserved for people of Maori ethnicity or ancestry who choose to place themselves on a separate electoral roll).
		New Zealand claims to have become the first country in the world to have granted women's suffrage, although the accuracy of this claim depends on the definitions used - see women's suffrage.

	Mau movement - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The Mau remained true to this sentiment, and despite the exile of Nelson, continued to use civil disobedience to oppose the New Zealand administration.
		The new administrator, Stephen Allen, replaced the marines with a special force of New Zealand police, and began to target the leaders of the movement.
		The Mau movement had not gone unnoticed by the population of New Zealand, and the treatment of Samoans at the hands of the administration had become a contentious issue in some New Zealand electorates during the 1929 election.

	Election Resources on the Internet: Elections to the New Zealand House of Representatives
		Fifty-five percent of the electorate took part in the vote, in which a proposal to establish a new electoral system was overwhelmingly approved in the first part of the referendum, with 1,031,257 votes (84.7%) in favor, against 186,027 votes (15.3%) for retaining the existing system.
		Electorate seats are filled by the plurality or first-past-the-post method, under which the candidate obtaining the largest number of votes in each constituency is elected.
		The electorate seats won by a party at the constituency level are then subtracted from the total number of seats allocated to that party's list, and the remaining seats are filled by the candidates on the party list in the order determined before the election.

	MSN Encarta - New Zealand
		New Zealand experienced a general social liberalization, perhaps even cultural decolonization, as a result of these social changes.
		New Zealand’s military alliance with the United States, effectively the cornerstone of foreign policy since 1942, lapsed.
		Also in the 1993 elections, a national referendum was held on whether New Zealand should retain its majority-vote electoral system or replace it with a system of proportional representation, known as the mixed-member proportional (MMP) system.

	Electorates & members of parliament : Reviewing electorate numbers and boundaries
		Electorates are meant to have similar populations living in them, regardless of how large or small this ends up making the area an electorate covers.
		Because the population of the electorates is meant to be similar, the numbers of Maori electorates and North Island electorates are calculated by dividing the relevant electoral populations by the South Island quota.
		New Zealand's total population (not just electors) needs to be divided into Maori, South Island and North Island electoral populations for calculating electorate numbers and the population covered by each.

	Prevalence of Adult Asthma Symptoms in Relation to Climate in New Zealand
		New Zealand is an ideal setting for the purposes of this investigation because the climate ranges from subtropical in the north to subarctic in the south.
		Where electorates still lacked data for one or more climate variables, these values were assumed to be the same as for an adjacent electorate, chosen by reference to a map of the electorate boundaries, without knowledge of the values for the climate variables there.
		Consistent with this, the lowest asthma prevalence was found in electorates in the highest quartile of altitude, the lowest quartile of urban land use, and the highest quartile of land area (therefore of low population density, as the electorates have similar total populations).

		A new year is well underway, and yes, the rhetoric is heating up about a new century and a new millennium.
		New Zealand also used a mixed system, but one that was fully proportional -- the system neatly combines guaranteed geographic representation with fairer representation of voters.
		Note that five of the district seats won by the New Zealand First Party were in the five separately-elected Maori electorates (New Zealand has a history of allowing Maori who choose to do so to vote in a separate election for these seats).

	An evaluation of New Zealand political party Websites.
		New Zealand's MMP system is based on the German model which allows for greater representation in Parliament of minor parties.
		New Zealand First, which has been in existence for ten years and is the third largest party in parliament, only provided one e-mail address for the whole party.
		Again, the situation in New Zealand conforms to the findings of Gibson and Ward (2002) in that party competition in cyberspace is relatively 'normal,' with the major parties being more visible than their minor and non-parliamentary counterparts.

	New Zealand's Method for Representing Minorities
		Observers have devoted considerable attention to New Zealand's 1993 decision to switch its parliamentary elections from the Anglo-American method of plurality voting in single-member districts to a German-style, mixed-member proportional system.
		In New Zealand, that question is readily answered, because Maori are the indigenous people and other minorities are not yet numerous.
		Nevertheless, adaptations of the New Zealand system might help solve the problems of other democracies, established or emerging, that face the problem of how to combine two or more different peoples into a unified polity on a basis of fairness and consent.

		The origins of New Public Management To begin with, the search for the origins of New Public Management in the various disciplines ends in (political) economics: theories such as the principal/agent theory, the public choice theory or the transaction cost theory marked the beginnings of New Public Management (cf., among others, Hood 1991, p.
		Later on, economic considerations were supplemented by business-administrative ones: a new role of administrative leadership was defined, and the function of management in public administration was generally made more prominent than it had been before.
		The new roles of those who are actively engaged in politics have not been conclusively defined yet.
