Reform Party, New Zealand A conservative political grouping formed in 1909 from various political reform leagues organized at local level from 1905 onwards, under the leadership of
Massey. It retained its loose organization, being principally opposed to the professionalization of politics which had emerged under
Seddon's Liberal Party government, and which continued to develop with the
Labour Party in 1916. As a result, the party was little more than a vehicle to keep Massey in power. This became particularly problematic after his death, when the party could point to few distinctive policies of its own, except for its hostility to concessions to the labour movement, and its strong rural individualism. Following Massey's death,
Coates managed to revive the organization of the ailing party with some skill, but ultimately was forced to concede a union with the United Party to form the
National Party in 1936.
