Term of the Parliament of New Zealand
The 42nd New Zealand Parliament was a term of the New Zealand Parliament . Its composition was determined by the 1987 election , and it sat until the 1990 election .
The 42nd Parliament was the second (and final) term of the controversial fourth Labour Party government. Initially, the only other party in the 42nd Parliament was the National Party , with the Democratic Party having lost the two seats it held in the 41st Parliament . Later, a dissident Labour MP, Jim Anderton , would found the NewLabour Party in 1989.[ 1] Prime Ministers during the 42nd Parliament: David Lange , Geoffrey Palmer , and Mike Moore .
The 42nd Parliament consisted of ninety-seven representatives. At the time, this was the highest number of representatives that Parliament had had, although it would later be exceeded. All of these representatives were chosen by single-member geographical electorates, including four Māori electorates .
