 | | In particular, the party's parliamentary leader, Anderton, and the party's organizational leader and president, Matt McCarten, became involved in a significant dispute. | | | Ironically, Anderton had supported this law as a result of the great instability caused by rampant party-switching (waka-jumping, as it is called in New Zealand) in the previous Parliament. | | | In those elections, the Progressives' vote tailed off slightly to 1.2 percent, but this decline was enough to keep Robson from returning to Parliament even though Anderton easily won his seat. |

| | An evaluation of New Zealand political party Websites. |
| | Table 1 focuses on the political parties inside parliament, that is those with electorate and/or list members elected during the 2002 election, whereas Table 2 provides the same information for the parties that are outside parliament, that is, without any elected members. | | | This study was undertaken five months after a general election, therefore another study should be undertaken in the lead-up to a general election as there is likely to be higher levels of online campaigning during this period. | | | Unfortunately, the Websites of the two major parties did not offer the same level of searchability. |
