1855 New Zealand General Election
The 1855 New Zealand general election was a nationwide vote to determine the shape of the New Zealand Parliament's 2nd term. It was the second national election ever held in New Zealand, and the first one which elected a Parliament that had full authority to govern the colony. Background The first New Zealand elections had been held after the passage of the New Zealand Constitution Act 1852 by the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The 1st Parliament did not have the ability to appoint the executive branch ( Cabinet) of the New Zealand government, however, and a major dispute arose between Parliament and the Governor. In the 2nd Parliament, Parliament gained the powers it sought — for this reason, some see the 1855 elections, not the 1853 elections, as the beginning of New Zealand democracy. At the time of the 1855 elections, there were no political parties in New Zealand. As such, all candidates were independents. Governments were formed based on loose coalitions, with ...

Akaroa (New Zealand Electorate)
Akaroa was a New Zealand electorate. It was located in Banks Peninsula, Canterbury, and named after the town of the same name. One of the original 24 electorates, it existed from 1853 to 1893. Population centres The Akaroa electorate was named after Akaroa on Banks Peninsula. It covered the peninsula and other rural land near Christchurch. Its boundary was a straight line running due south "from the Conical Rocks midway between the eastern headland of Port Albert, and the western headland of Pigeon Bay, due south across Banks' Peninsula, meeting the sea at the western headland of Island Bay." Its only neighbour was the large, rural electorate of Christchurch Country, which covered most of Canterbury and the West Coast. In subsequent years, the electorate's boundaries shifted slightly, retreating on the Peninsula's northern coast and expanding on its southern coast (gaining the Kaitorete Spit, between Lake Ellesmere / Te Waihora and the sea). In the 1871 election, the bu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
2nd New Zealand Parliament
The 2nd New Zealand Parliament was a term of the New Zealand Parliament, Parliament of New Zealand. It opened on 15 April 1856, following New Zealand's 1855 New Zealand general election, 1855 election. It was dissolved on 5 November 1860 in preparation for 1860–1861 New Zealand general election, 1860–61 election. The 2nd Parliament was the first under which New Zealand had responsible government, meaning that unlike previously, the New Zealand Cabinet, Cabinet was chosen (although not officially appointed) by Parliament rather than by the Governor-General of New Zealand, Governor. Historical context At this time political parties had not been established (they were not established until after the 1890 New Zealand general election, 1890 election), meaning that anyone attempting to form an administration had to win support directly from individual MPs. This made forming (and retaining) a government difficult. The Sewell Ministry, 1856, Sewell Ministry, the first responsible gov ...

Lyttelton Times
The ''Lyttelton Times'' was the first newspaper in Canterbury, New Zealand, publishing the first edition in January 1851. It was established by the Canterbury Association as part of its planned settlement of Canterbury and developed into a liberal, at the time sometimes seen as radical, newspaper. A successor paper, ''The Star'', is published as a free bi-weekly newspaper. James FitzGerald was the newspaper's first editor, and it was FitzGerald who in 1861 set up its main competitor, ''The Press'', over the ''Lyttelton Times support for the Lyttelton Rail Tunnel. In 1935, it was ''The Press'' that won the competition for the morning newspaper market in Christchurch; the ''Lyttelton Times'' was the oldest newspaper in the country when it ceased that year. History The Canterbury Association was formed in order to establish a colony in what is now the Canterbury Region in the South Island of New Zealand. Part of the plan was to have a newspaper, and a prospectus was published in A ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
