	New Zealand Labour Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is currently the dominant party in the country's ruling coalition, holding 50 of the 121 seats in the New Zealand Parliament.
		When the 1996 election, the first conducted under the MMP electoral system, gave the balance of power to the centrist New Zealand First party, many believed that Labour would return to power, but in the end New Zealand First allied itself with National.
		Following the 2005 general election, Labour formed a coalition with the Progressive party, and entered into complex confidence and supply agreements with the centre-right United Future party and the centrist New Zealand First party, which gave both parties' leaders a Ministerial portfolio, while remaining outside of Cabinet.
