New Zealand Republican Party (1967)
The New Zealand Republican Party of 1967 was a political party which campaigned for the creation of a New Zealand republic. It was founded by Bruce Jesson in 1967,[1] and was linked to the Republican Association.[2]
It did not win any seats in Parliament, and was dissolved in 1974.[3] Instead, a new publication was created, The Republican, which was published until 1995. In 1995 another republican party, which was also subsequently dissolved, arose under the same name. The two are unconnected.
