Helengrad

Helengrad was a satirical or pejorative neologism in New Zealand politics applied to New Zealand's capital city Wellington. However, it was sometimes used by the Labour party's opponents (including the centre-right National Party) and critics to describe New Zealand as a whole and occasionally the fifth Labour government itself. In January 2008, the term 'Helengrad', "a noun used to describe the iron grip of New Zealand's prime minister over Wellington", was reported as having made Australia's Macquarie online dictionary among 85 other new words.
==Origin==
The ''Helen'' aspect is derived from Helen Clark, Prime Minister of New Zealand from 1999 to 2008. The suffix ''-grad'' (''-град'' in Cyrillic) alludes to cities of the former Soviet Union named after political leaders, such as Leningrad and Stalingrad. The term has been used derisively by political opponents of Clark and the Labour Party to equate their ideology and political views with socialism and communism. This is similar to the term "Comrade Helen", referring to Helen Clark.
