- Title
The Minor Parties: Policies and Attitudes.

Skilling, Peter; Molineaux, Julienne
- Abstract
In 15 years of MMP Government in New Zealand, no party has ever been successful in governing alone. There are good reasons, then - National's current dominance in the polls notwithstanding - to assume that one or more of the minor parties will be included in governing arrangements after the General Election on November 26. This paper presents a descriptive summary of the employment relations policy positions of the six minor parties (ACT, the Green Party, the Mana Party, the Maori Party, New Zealand First and United Future) that have some chance of success at this year?s Election, to assess the influence they might have on subsequent policy formation. The summary, based primarily on relevant publicly available documents, also considers the factors likely to influence how each party might engage with others.
