United New Zealand was a centrist political party in New Zealand.
United was founded in the middle of 1995, one of a number of new parties hoping to capitalize on the upcoming switch to the MMP electoral system.

 POLITICAL PARTIES - UNITED PARTY - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
The United Party, the successor to the Liberal Party, was formed in 1927 and, after a surprising success in the general election in the following year, it formed a Government under the veteran Sir Joseph Ward.
The success of the United Party in 1928 was due primarily to the dissatisfaction felt by the urban business community at the increasing intervention in the economy by the Reform Government in the interests of its farming supporters.
The result was that the United Party was able briefly to recast the old urban-rural alliance which had kept the Liberals in power from 1890 to 1911, and which had been split during the twenties by the Reform Government's economic policies.

The New Zealand WIN Party has copped a lot of dissension from supporters over the decision to align with Peter Dunne and United Future for New Zealand Election '05, but the dissension has come after the election and after Peter Dunne's decision to support and be part of the Labour led government.
Some of our critics say that had the WIN Party aligned with National, the election outcome would have seen National gain the most seats, but hello, wake up, it is obvious from United Future's party vote result that our aligning with National would not have changed the outcome.
Well-established and/or resourced parties such as ACT, the Progressives, the Alliance and Destiny did not come anywhere near attracting five percent of the party vote, an outcome that was obvious to the WIN Party executive long before election day.
