- Description
New Zealand Prime Minister, George Forbes (United) carries the household furniture labelled 'sound finance' on his back, and Gordon Coates (Reform) as his wife, carries utensils labelled 'unemployment scheme'. They leave their coalition tent and head towards a more substantial building that represents the coalition government, formed after winning the 1931 election against Labour. 'Party strife' has been thrown into one rubbish bin and 'Party shiboleths' into another.
From 1931 until 1935 a coalition between the United and Reform parties held power in New Zealand. The coalition went into the 1935 election under the title of the "National Political Federation". A new party, called the New Zealand National Party, formed at a meeting held in Wellington on May 13 and 14, 1936.
Extended Title - The result of the elections last week will tend to cement the Coalition parties together.
