	New Zealand National Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The New Zealand National Party ("National" or "the Nats") currently forms the second-largest (in terms of seats) political party represented in the New Zealand Parliament, and thus functions as the core of the parliamentary Opposition.
		The coalition went into the 1935 election under the title of the "National Political Federation", a name adopted to indicate that the grouping intended to represent New Zealanders from all backgrounds (in contrast to the previous situation, where United served city-dwellers and Reform served farmers).
		And as a result of the new electoral mechanics, the New Zealand First Party, led by former National MP and former Cabinet minister Winston Peters, held the balance of power after the 1996 elections.

	The Young and the Restless
		As New Zealand approached the general election at the end of 1999, attention focused on the large numbers of young and often well-qualified New Zealanders leaving the country, and stemming this "brain drain" is one of the challenges that confronts the new government.
		Simultaneously, New Zealand is debating how to become a "knowledge society" (or, depending on the speaker, a "knowledge economy"), for which well-qualified and talented citizens are touted as a crucial ingredient.
		For many New Zealanders who are currently working outside of New Zealand the issue is not a lack of money, but a lack of opportunity.
