List of New Zealand Liberal Party MPs

Last updated

The following is a list of members of the New Zealand Liberal Party who served in the New Zealand House of Representatives . The New Zealand Liberal Party was formalised in 1891 but had existed informally since the lead up to the 1890 general election. All members are listed up until the founding of the New Zealand National Party in 1936. From 1922 onwards the Liberal party received several cosmetic name changes; Progressive Liberal Labour Party (1922), "National" Party (1925) and finally United Party (1928). Only the final name change was successful. United MPs are included in this list.

    The Nationalist Party, also known as the National Party, was an Australian political party. It was formed in February 1917 from a merger between the Liberal Party and the National Labor Party, the latter formed by Prime Minister Billy Hughes and his supporters after the 1916 Labor Party split over World War I conscription. The Nationalist Party was established as a 'united' non-Labor opposition that had remained a political trend once the Labor party established itself in federal politics. The party was in government until electoral defeat in 1929. From that time it was the main opposition to the Labor Party until it merged with pro-Joseph Lyons Labor defectors to form the United Australia Party (UAP) in 1931. The party is a direct ancestor of the Liberal Party of Australia, the main centre-right party in Australia.
