Credits: The AM Show A political scientist believes the Government will be feeling the heat as the New Zealand First Party faces allegations surrounding its donation practices. The Serious Fraud Office is weighing up whether to probe the accusations that the party is hiding donations in a slush fund. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, meanwhile, has demanded a full independent look at political donation laws. Political scientist Bryce Edwards told The AM Show Ardern is correct to conduct some sort of inquiry. "I think it's likely to sink New Zealand First in 2020 and it will dog this Government throughout this year," he said. "It goes to the heart of democracy and the way it affects people's lives.

This year it was the turn of DANZ to visit New Zealand for the 24th Inter-parliamentary meeting. As the visit was on a non-sitting week for the New Zealand Parliament, this meeting was held in Auckland to enable easier attendance for New Zealand parliamentarians. This was followed by meetings in Wellington, including with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, three New Zealand Cabinet Ministers and the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. DANZ’s visit this year was comprised of a larger delegation than usual. Eight members of the European Parliament (MEPs) came to New Zealand, including a Vice President. The members were from five of the six main political groups in the European Parliament – the European People's Party (Christian Democrats), the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, Renew Europe, the Greens/European Free Alliance and the European Conservatives and Reformists. 1 The DANZ visit was led by Chairperson, Ulrike Müller MEP, who also led the previous delegation to New Zealand in 2018.2 Inter-parliamentary meeting The 2020 meeting was held on Monday 24th February. The New Zealand Members of Parliament who attended are listed at the end of this report.

  • ELECTORAL CHANGE, INERTIA and CAMPAIGNS in NEW ZEALAND the First Modern FPP Campaign in 1987 and the First MMP Campaign in 1996
    PARTY POLITICS VOL 9. No.5 pp. 601–618 Copyright © 2003 SAGE Publications London Thousand Oaks New Delhi www.sagepublications.com ELECTORAL CHANGE, INERTIA AND CAMPAIGNS IN NEW ZEALAND The First Modern FPP Campaign in 1987 and the First MMP Campaign in 1996 David Denemark ABSTRACT Electoral change creates important and competing incentives for political parties, parliamentary elites and candidates to transform their campaign techniques in order to maximize votes under the new realities – a process constrained by continued reliance on familiar techniques. In this article I examine two significant moments of electoral change in New Zealand – from partisan stability to dealignment in the late 1980s, and from an SMP/plurality system to Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) represen- tation in 1996 – as a way of exploring inertia and change in the trans- formation of campaigns at the constituency level. Drawing on findings from in-depth interviews conducted with individuals responsible for the parties’ campaigns in the 1987 and 1996 New Zealand general elections, I explore the extent to which political campaign elites, parliamentarians and candidates responded to incentives to adopt a fundamentally new election campaign logic – in these two cases, dictated by the new tactical centrality of marginal seats and geographically defined constituencies in the modern first-past-the-post (FPP) campaign, and then by the ascend- ancy in their place of the party list vote, issue constituencies and nation- wide campaigns under MMP. KEY WORDS campaigns constituency electoral change mixed member proportional New Zealand Introduction Election campaigns – their strategies, techniques and technologies – are the product of the electoral systems within which they are waged (Katz, 1980).
