1954 New Zealand Labour Party Leadership Election
The 1954 New Zealand Labour Party leadership election was held on 23 June 1954 to determine the future leadership of the New Zealand Labour Party. The election was won by MP Walter Nash, the incumbent leader. Background Nash's initial handling of the leadership of the Labour party was seen as rather mediocre. He had difficult obstacles, chiefly the waterfront dispute. Nash attempted to take a moderate position in the dispute, stating "we are not for the waterside workers, and we are not against them". Labour's neutral position merely ended up displeasing both sides, however, and Nash was widely accused of indecision and lack of courage. Labour was defeated heavily in the 1951 snap election. In May 1953, Rex Mason informed Nash that several members were complaining to him about the party's leadership to him and that he thought that the majority wanted a new leader to take over. Later, in February 1954, MP Angus McLagan referred to a newspaper article questioning Nash's leadersh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

As the election of Nash to replace Fraser was viewed as an inevitability, most speculation at the time was concentrated on the deputy leadership and the imminent by-election for Fraser's seat of Brooklyn.
