The NZ Independent Coalition is a registered political party in New Zealand. The party was founded in January 2014 by Brendan Horan after his expulsion from New Zealand First.[1] The party emphasises electorate representation, and MPs will be required to poll their electorates on major issues and vote accordingly.[1][2]
In February 2014 the party registered a logo with the Electoral Commission.[3] On 18 June 2014 it applied for registration.[4] The party was registered on 24 July.[5]
The party launched its campaign on 29 July 2014 with a slogan of "safe children, safe whanau, safe society" and promising higher pensions and the removal of tertiary education fees.[6] On 19 August it announced its party list.[7]
In the New Zealand General Election held in September 2014, the party did not win any seats or enough percentage of the party vote to stay in Parliament.[8] It attracted 872 voters, estimated at 0.04% of total New Zealand voter share.
