Elections from History: New Zealand, 1919

William Massey, leader of the Reform Party, and Sir Joseph Ward,
leader of the Liberal Party, had spent an agonising four years in
coalition together. They hated it, and once the First World War was
over and they were back in New Zealand, they tried to tear each
other down. But the political scene in New Zealand had turned nasty
in their absence. Sectarianism was surging, and the political value
of prejudice had never been higher. There was also a new kid on the
bloc - the New Zealand Labour Party. Send in questions about the
