More on Laila Harré
Description from Wikipedia:
Laila Jane Harré is a New Zealand politician and trade unionist. She was a Member of Parliament for the left-wing Alliance party, and later became the party's leader after the group experienced a schism.
Harré was born in 1966, and was educated in Auckland. At university, she gained both a Bachelor of Arts degree in politics and a Bachelor of Laws degree. After leaving university, she worked for some time as a lawyer specializing in industrial relations and employment law, developing close links to the trade union movement.
Harré joined the Labour Party in 1982, but quickly became disillusioned with it. In particular, she objected to the policies advanced by Roger Douglas, who became Minister of Finance when Labour won the 1984 election. Douglas, an advocate of free market economics, introduced a program of radical reforms which alienated many of Labour's traditional supporters, including Harré.
In 1987, Harré resigned from the Labour Party. She became a founding member of the NewLabour Party, an organization led by dissident Labour MP Jim Anderton. NewLabour later amalgamated with several other left-wing groups to form the Alliance. Harré stood as the Alliance candidate for the Te Atatu electorate in the 1993 elections, but was unsuccessful.
In the 1996 elections, which were held under the new MMP electoral system, Harré was ranked in eighth place on the Alliance list. The Alliance gained a sufficient number of votes for Harré to enter parliament.
