 The Militant - September 2, 2002 -- Labour Party wins New Zealand vote   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
AUCKLAND, New Zealand--The governing Labour Party was returned to office in general elections in New Zealand July 27 with a higher share of the vote and three more seats in the 120-member parliament.
The vote for the National Party, the traditional party of the ruling class in New Zealand and the governing party for most of the post-World War II period, plummeted to 21 percent, its lowest since the party was founded in 1935.
The most notable outcome of the election was the resurgence in support for the rightist New Zealand First Party, which increased its share of the vote from 4 percent to 10 percent, and more than doubled its parliamentary seats to 13.
