	New Zealand general election 1996 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1996 New Zealand general election was a nationwide vote to determine the shape of the New Zealand Parliament.
		The election, however, was not decided by the comparative strengths of the major parties - rather, the smaller New Zealand First party, which won 17 seats, was placed in the position of "kingmaker", able to provide the necessary majority to whichever side it chose.
		The Alliance and New Zealand First, both of which held two seats each in the old parliament, increased their representation to 13 and 17 seats, respectively, as a result of the change.

	CNN - New Zealand elections may result in swing to left - Oct. 12, 1996
		WELLINGTON, New Zealand (CNN) -- Early returns from New Zealand's general election Saturday showed the country's left-leaning parties on the verge of trumping the ruling conservative party which has led the country for the last six years.
		The opposition Labor Party, nationalist party New Zealand First and left-wing Alliance party were expected to pick up a total of 68 seats, enough to topple the National Party if they form a coalition.
		Turnout was very high, estimated at 90 percent, in the first test of a new political system designed to give smaller parties a greater voice in government.

		Voters in New Zealand are being spared the long drawn-out misery that their American cousins face, but they still have to decide on a government this fall (or rather spring down there).
		The future of the New Zealand government lies in the hands of New Zealand First at 14%, and the Alliance (a conglomeration of 5 leftish parties) at 12.6% of the vote.
		Given that New Zealand First is leaning toward Labour and that the Alliance has said it is interested in participating in a coalition that excludes National, one must like the left-of-center's chances.

		Until 1996 the government was elected by a 'first past the post' system - ie, whichever party gained the largest number of seats in a general election was invited to form the government for the next three years.
		However, the recent move on the part of the New Zealand Department for courts to place all unreported decisions of the New Zealand courts on the Australian database host AUSTLII means that there are now two major sites for locating different sorts of New Zealand legal information.
		Law students and young lawyers in New Zealand are usually encouraged to begin by looking at commentary, especially a standard current textbook on the subject, or the relevant section in a legal encyclopaedia.

	PR-Squared in New Zealand
		Publication history: A version of this paper describing PR-Squared in the context of the UK was sent to the The Independent Commission on the Voting System on 14th February 1998.
		It typically elects a majority government; it elects one local MP from each constituency each of whom is dependent on the local vote; yet still ensures that if two parties receive equal votes then they receive equal seats.
		So, for the purposes of this example, let us counter-factually assume that New Zealand was divided into the same 65 single-member constituencies.
