John Robertson (politician)
- John Robertson (politician)
John Robertson (1875 - 1952) was a New Zealand politician of the Labour Party.
He was born in Scotland, and was a watchmaker. He was a founder member in 1892 and later Secretary of the Independent Labour Party in Britain. He emigrated to New Zealand in 1902.
He represented the Otaki electorate from 1911, when he was elected on the second ballot, having been nominated by the flax-workers union. In 1914 he was defeated.
The "Parliamentary Record" says he was an MP of the Social Democratic Party in 1911-14, but other sources say he was associated with the New Zealand Labour Party (1910).
Later he represented the Masterton electorate for the Labour Party from 1935 to 1943, when he was again defeated. He was appointed to the Legislative Council.
