In New Zealand politics, the phrase "coalition of chaos" was widely used during the 2023 New Zealand general election campaign. The phrase was a pejorative term used by the leaders of both major political parties (Chris Hipkins of the New Zealand Labour Party and Christopher Luxon of the New Zealand National Party) to describe the prospective political coalitions that their opposite numbers might have formed after the election.
The term was chiefly used by Luxon to describe a potential left-wing coalition between Labour and the major progressive third parties, Te Pāti Māori and the Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand. Hipkins' use of the term described a partnership between National, ACT New Zealand, and the New Zealand First parties.
Since the election, "coalition of chaos" and similar pejoratives like the "three-headed taniwha" have primarily been used by the opposition and some media commentators in reference to the resulting right-wing[1][2][3] National–ACT–New Zealand First government that formed upon National emerging as the largest party after the election.[3]
