This paper analyses the results of a survey conducted in two New Zealand parliamentary electorates conducted at the time of the 1984 general election. The 1984 election removed the National Government from power, in a political environment affected by significant changes in support for third parties and a change in leadership for the Labour Party. The concepts of party identification, issue orientation and candidate orientation are utilised to explain aspects of voting behaviour which, working together, brought Labour to power after three successive defeats at the polis.
