Summary:Content Partner: Lincoln University. The New Zealand Labour Party had a stated objective of the socialisation of the means of production, distribution and exchange or as popularly stated, socialism. However, the definition of the term differed between individuals or groups due to the many variations of socialism. This thesis seeks to examine the relationship of socialism to the Labour party, by exploring its development and relationship with political labour and its later influence upon policy development in the NZLP after that party’s offical establishment in 1916 until it became Government in 1935.
