Progressives gone

Page 1009 of the 15 March NZ Gazette reveals that the Progressive Party has officially disbanded, in that it has had its registration as a registered political party cancelled.

I’m a bit surprised the Electoral Commission hasn’t announced this on their website, or updated their list of parties. Normally I find out from their website, not from obscure Gazette notices.

While the Alliance had a distinct place on the political spectrum, I never worked out what the Progressives stood for, except to have Jim Anderton as Leader.
