v t e

New Zealand national politics have featured a pervasive party system since the early 20th century. Usually, all members of Parliament's unicameral House of Representatives belong to a political party. Independent MPs do not occur often.

While two major parties (namely Labour and National) have dominated the New Zealand national political landscape since the 1930s, the introduction of proportional representation in 1996 led to a multi-party system, such that smaller parties have substantial representation in Parliament and can now reasonably expect to gain seats in government. As of 2024^[update], six parties have MPs in the 54th Parliament.
