history
The Alliance was founded in 1991, won 18.2% of the vote two years later and in 1996 with a direct mandate 13 seats in parliament. Its chairman became after the establishment of the former member of the Labor Party and later Deputy Prime Minister under the administration of Helen Clark , Jim Anderton . Anderton led the party, with a brief hiatus, between November 1994 and May 1995 through July 2002.
After the brilliant election victories in the early years, the party lost further support in 1999 and when the party chairman Jim Anderton left the party shortly before the election in 2002, the Alliance sank visibly into insignificance. In a poll by the New Zealand Herald shortly before the 2011 election, the Alliance was on the questionnaire, but no one spoke out in favor of it. The election result was 0.05% of the vote that year. The party did not run for the 2014 General Election.
