The Kiwi Party was a political party operating in New Zealand between 2007 and 2011. Briefly known as Future New Zealand it was a breakaway from the United Future New Zealand party and sought to carry on the tradition of Future New Zealand. The party was formed when MP Gordon Copeland left United Future after a dispute over support for the Crimes (Substituted Section 59) Amendment Act 2007. At the 2008 general election the Kiwi Party was unsuccessful and was not re-elected to Parliament.
