Onslow was a former New Zealand Parliamentary electorate, for 1946 to 1963 and then from 1993 to 1996 Ōhariu is a New Zealand Parliamentary electorate, returning one Member of Parliament to the New Zealand House of Representatives. He found himself, however, increasingly at odds with the majority of the Labour Party — Dunne tended to support Labour's right-leaning faction rather than the party's more unionist wing. A trade union or labour union is an organization of workers who have banded together to achieve common goals in key areas such as wages hours and working conditions forming With the departure of leading right-wingers like Roger Douglas, Richard Prebble and David Caygill he found himself isolated.

The 1996 elections, however, saw United almost completely wiped out — Dunne, by virtue of his personal support, won the newly-formed seat of Ohariu-Belmont, but all other United MPs suffered defeat. The 1996 New Zealand general election was a nationwide vote to determine the shape of the New Zealand Parliament. As the sole surviving United member in the House, Dunne became the party's leader.

Political philosophy
Dunne sees himself as a centrist and generally describes his policies as based on common sense. In Politics, centrism usually refers to the political ideal of promoting Moderate policies which land in the middle ground between different political extremes Common sense (or when used attributively as an Adjective, commonsense, common-sense, or commonsensical) based on a strict construction His supporters promote him as sensible and reasonable. Opponents incline rather to criticise him as a right-wing conservative, pointing to his opposition to drug-law reform, his opposition to the Civil Union Act (although he did support the legislation giving legal recognition to the institution of civil unions), his support for the tobacco industry, and his party's emphasis on family values. Conservatism is a term used to describe political philosophies that favour Tradition, where tradition refers to various religious cultural or nationally defined Recreational drug use is the use of Psychoactive drugs for Recreational purposes rather than for work, medical or spiritual purposes The tobacco industry comprises those persons and companies engaged in the growth preparation for sale shipment advertisement and distribution of Tobacco and tobacco-related Family values is a political and social concept used in various cultures to describe values that are believed to be traditional in that culture and in support of the idea His record in Parliament has also come under scrutiny; supporters regard his willingness to work with either side of the House as a sign of reasonableness, while critics accuse him of opportunism, and of doing deals with anyone who can offer him something. Opportunism is a term used in Politics and Political science.
Social views
Against this, however, Dunne consistently supported Sue Bradford's Bill against the parental corporal punishment of children, despite aversion to other elements of the Greens' social reform agenda, like decriminalisation of marijuana. The New Zealand politician Sue Bradford (born 1952 serves as a list Member of Parliament representing the Green Party. The Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand is a Political party in the New Zealand parliament. Cannabis, also known as marijuana or marihuana, or ganja (from Hindi / Sanskrit: गांजा gānjā hemp) is a He also strongly supported the decriminalisation of homosexuality when it became an issue in the mid 1980s. Homosexuality refers to sexual behavior with or attraction to people of the same sex or to a Homosexual orientation.
Dunne now has started rebranding United Future as a modern centrist party, based on promoting strong families and vibrant communities. Year 2007 ( MMVII) was a Common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar in the 21st century. United Future New Zealand is a New Zealand Political party. As of 2008 it has two members of the New Zealand Parliament – party leader Peter Dunne Dunne has summarised his political views in two books, Home is Where My Heart Is (2002) and In the Centre of Things (2005).
