In 1991, NewLabour was one of four parties to form the Alliance political party. He was a candidate for the Alliance in (at number eight on their list), (three), and (six), contesting the electorate.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Party Lists of Unsuccessful Registered Parties )〕〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Party lists for the 2011 General Election )〕 In 2005, he was berated by the Prime Minister, Helen Clark, for all the faults of the National Party when she mistook him for a supporter of that party. At the party's 2006 conference, held in Wellington, no co-leaders were elected. Instead the party decided to concentrate on internal reorganisation; Billot was elected President. At the 2007 national conference, held in Dunedin, two co-leaders were elected, Billot and Kay Murray, with Paul Piesse returning to his former role as Party President. Billot was co-leader for one year. Billot persuaded his Wellington friend and businessman Jack Yan to stand for the Alliance in 2008; Yan was number 12 on the list, but did not contest an electorate.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Party Lists of Unsuccessful Registered Parties )〕 Clare Curran, the New Zealand Labour Party MP for since 2008, has repeatedly encouraged Billot to join her party. He stepped down from his role as Spokesman and occasional co-leader of the Alliance Party in March 2014. 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「Victor Billot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
