The party was formed in 1916, making it New Zealand's oldest extant political party. Labour most recently formed a government from 1999 to 2008 with Helen Clark as party leader and Prime Minister. Since the party's defeat in the 2008 general election, Labour has comprised the second-largest (in terms of parliamentary seats) political party represented in the New Zealand Parliament; it functions as the core of the Official Parliamentary Opposition. Labour has had four leaders whilst in opposition to the current Government under the National Party. This turnover has at least in part been due to changes within public media and the political environment during this time.〔Hager, Nicky, (2014) 'Dirty Politics: How Attack Politics in Poisoning New Zealand's Political Environment', Nelson: Craig Potton Publishing(〕 On 18 November 2014 Andrew Little was confirmed outside of Parliament and in a press conference as the new leader of the Labour Party. == Principles == According to its 2014 constitution, the Labour Party accepts democratic socialist principles, including: * the people as the democratic source of political authority * the management of New Zealand's natural resources for the benefit of all, including future generations * equal access to all social, economic, cultural, political and legal spheres, regardless of wealth or social position * co-operation as the main governing factor in economic relations, with a view to the increase and just distribution of wealth * universal rights to dignity, self-respect and the opportunity to work * the right to wealth and property, subject to the provisos of regarding people as always more important than property and the obligations of the state to ensure a just distribution of wealth * Te Tiriti o Waitangi/The Treaty of Waitangi as the founding document of New Zealand, and its honouring in the Party, government, society and the whanau * the promotion of peace and social justice throughout the world by international co-operation and mutual respect * equality in human rights regardless of race, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, religious faith, political belief or disability 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「New Zealand Labour Party」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
