Mangere (New Zealand electorate)
- Mangere (New Zealand electorate)
Māngere is a New Zealand Parliamentary electorate, returning one Member of Parliament to the New Zealand House of Representatives. The current MP for Māngere is Taito Phillip Field [ [http://www.parliament.nz/en-NZ/MPP/MPs/MPs/0/7/f/48MP871-Field-Taito-Phillip.htm New Zealand Parliament - Taito Phillip Field MP] ] , elected from the Labour Party ticket, but acting as an independent since being expelled from caucus at the start of 2007. He has held this seat since 1996.
Māngere (styled as Mangere before 1997) is based around the South Auckland suburbs of Mangere, Mangere Bridge, Favona and Mangere East. It has existed as a seat since 1969; its boundaries were extended ahead of the introduction of Mixed Member Proportional voting in 1996, swallowing up a section of the former Papatoetoe seat.
History
Māngere, and all of South Auckland forms the safest part of the Labour Party's core vote. Even during landslide elections in the National Party's favour, such as in 1975 and 1990, no Labour candidate for a South Auckland seat was seriously troubled.
Māngere was first represented by Colin Moyle of the Labour Party in 1969. Moyle represented the seat until his resignation in 1977 over what became known as the 'Moyle Affair', and a subsequent by-election was won by a young barrister named David Lange, who would become Prime Minister after Labour's 1984 election victory. Lange retired in 1996 and the nomination was handed to Taito Phillip Field, at the time the MP for Otara. Field has been returned with a high share of the vote since then, but following his expulsion from the Labour caucus, his former party nominated former Manukau City deputy mayor Su'a William Sio in his place.
