Adventures In Democracy : A History Of The Vote In New Zealand by Neill Atkinson

In the first comprehensive history of the vote and elections published in New Zealand, Neill Atkinson traces the evolution of a distinctive democracy since the beginning of representative government in the 1850s. From the creation of Maori seats in 1867 and the world-leading women's suffrage legislation of 1893, to the dramatic transition to proportional representation in the 1990s, New Zealand's democratic innovations have been shaped by pragmatism, principles and personalities. Illustrated with over 100 photographs, cartoons and posters, this book also looks at how elections were organized, how candidates and political parties ran their campaigns, and how the new media of radio and television changed elections forever.
