The New World Order was a registered political party in New Zealand. The party was founded in 2006 by Nathan Lee Couper. Its stated goal was to bring about global peace through a unified World Government. The Chief of the WGEC is Stephanie Monique Smith.[1]
The Political Party's president and Secretary was Nathan Lee Couper and the party's International Board Manager was Justin Mclean.[2]
On 1 April 2008 the party formally applied for registration with the New Zealand Electoral Commission.[3] It was registered on 20 May 2008.[4] Couper collected signatures and spare change from passersby on the street in order to satisfy the legal requirements for 500 financial members. He admitted not all 500 members actually paid a fee.[1][5]
The party applied for broadcasting funding, and was allocated $10,000.[6] Despite receiving an allocation and receiving extensive coverage on Eating Media Lunch, a satirical current affairs program,[7] the party did not run any candidates in the 2008 election as it did not provide the thousand dollar deposit to nominate a party list.[1]
2010–11[edit]
In May 2010 the party registered a logo with the Electoral Commission.[8]
The party did not apply for broadcasting funding for the 2011 election, and its registration was cancelled, at the party's request, on 9 June 2011.[9]
2023[edit]
In the 2023 general election NWO Party founder Nathan Lee Couper was a candidate in the Hamilton East electorate. He was listed on the ballot as representing the "New World Order McCann Party".[10]
