United Future over

Former United Future leader Peter Dunne says it was inevitable the party would disband, given it no longer has a presence in Parliament. Present leader Damian Light has confirmed the party will fold, citing lack of support in the election, where it won only 0.1 per cent of the vote. Dunne, who stood down a month before the election fearing a loss in the Ohariu seat, said the demise was inevitable, given “the sheer resourcing difficulty of getting on with the job, pushing the cause, when you don’t have a seat in Parliament”.
