Prime minister Subsequent prime minister George Forbes Michael Joseph Savage United–Reform Coalition New Zealand Labour Party The 1935 New Zealand general election was a nationwide vote held on 26 and 27 November to determine the shape of the New Zealand Parliament's 25th term. It resulted in the Labour Party's first electoral victory, with Michael Joseph Savage becoming the first Labour prime minister after defeating the governing coalition, consisting of the United Party and the Reform Party, in a landslide—to date, the worst defeat of a sitting government in New Zealand history. The governing coalition lost 31 seats, which was attributed by many to their handling of the Great Depression: the year after the election, the United and Reform parties merged to form the modern National Party. The election was originally scheduled to be held in 1934, in keeping with the country's three-year election cycle, but the governing coalition postponed the election by one year hoping that economic conditions would improve by 1935.Simpson, Tony. "The Sugarbag Years". 1990 Penguin Books p. 212. It remains New Zealand's only general election conducted on the basis of a four-year parliamentary term. Background Since 1931, New Zealand had been governed by a coalition of the United Party and the Reform Party, the United–Reform Coalition. United and Reform had traditionally been enemies – United was a revival of the old Liberal Party, a progressive party with a strong urban base, while Reform was a conservative party with a strong rural base. When the 1928 elections left United and Reform with an equal number of seats, United managed to obtain support from the growing Labour Party, but in 1931, the worsening depression prompted a dispute over economic policy, and Labour withdrew its backing. Reform then agreed to go into coalition with United, fearing that an election would lead to significant gains for the "socialistic" Labour. The coalition held on to power in the 1931 elections, but the ongoing economic troubles made the government deeply unpopular, and by the time of the 1935 elections, Labour's support was soaring. Campaign The Dominion, a Wellington newspaper, printed anti-Labour advertisements and editorials.http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/64075372/savage-voters-ignored-slur-of-reds-and-poisoned-chocs Savage voters ignored slur of reds and poisoned chocs The Dominion Post Alex Fensome 12 December 2014 12 December 2014 On Sunday 24 November, shortly before the election, an address by Colin Scrimgeour ("Uncle Scrim") on the Friendly Road radio station, which was expected to urge listeners to vote Labour, was jammed by the Post Office.

The governing coalition won only nineteen, and three ministers were defeated (in Hamilton, Tauranga and Waitaki). This difference was not so great in the popular vote, however, with Labour winning 45.7% to the coalition's 33.5%. Labour was more fortunate than its British namesake in not attaining office before the depression (thanks to Seddon's lengthy reign) "and so could hold the conservative coalition responsible if natural laws of economics behaved unnaturally".Lipson 2011 210 Apart from Labour and the coalition, the only two groups to win places in Parliament were the Country Party and the Ratana movement, both of which won two seats. Four independents were elected, Harry Atmore, David McDougall, Charles Wilkinson and Robert Wright. The independents were tactically supported by one of the major parties who did not stand a candidate against them, and they generally voted with that party; Wilkinson and Wright supported the coalition while Atmore and McDougall supported Labour. Labour also did not stand candidates against the two Country Party members. Robert Stephen Milne Political Parties in New Zealand https://archive.org/details/politicalparties0000miln registration Oxford, England Clarendon Press 1966 76 Many commentators blamed the coalition's failure to win seats on vote splitting by the Democrat Party, an "anti-socialist" group founded by a former organiser for the governing coalition, Albert Davy, and headed by Thomas Hislop, the Mayor of Wellington. Perhaps as many as eight seats were an unexpected bonus to Labour because of the three-way split.Michael Bassett Bassett Michael Tomorrow Comes the Song: A life of Peter Fraser 2000 Penguin Auckland 0-14-029793-6 136 The Democrats won 7.8% of the vote, but no seats. Two future National MPs stood unsuccessfully: Frederick Doidge stood as an independent for Rotorua and came second, and Matthew Oram stood for the Democrats in Manawatu and came fourth.https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=AS19351128.2.90.1&srpos=21&e=20-11-1935-02-12-1935--10--21----0Doidge-ARTICLE- Government overwhelmed, People's emphatic mandate, Democrat Party rejected Papers Past 28 November 1935 An analysis of men and women on the rolls against the votes recorded showed that in 1935 90.75% of those on the European rolls voted; men 92.02% and women 89.46%.
