The United–Reform coalition government of New Zealand was the ministry that governed New Zealand from 1931 to 1935. It was a coalition between two of the three major parties of the time, the United and Reform, formed to deal with the Great Depression which began in 1929. The Labour Party refused to join the coalition, as it believed that the only solution to the depression was socialism, which United and Reform did not support. Rather, they attempted to solve the country's economic problems by cutting public spending. This, the policy of making the unemployed do relief work for the unemployment benefit, and other cost-cutting policies, made the government the most unpopular of its era, and it was defeated in the 1935 election.

  • Das Kabinett Forbes II wurde in Neuseeland am 22. September 1931 durch Premierminister George William Forbes von der United Party gebildet und löste das Kabinett Forbes I ab. Das Kabinett Forbes II war eine Koalitionsregierung zwischen United Party und der Reform Party des früheren Premierministers Joseph Gordon Coates. Es befand sich bis zum 6. Dezember 1935 im Amt und wurde dann durch das Kabinett Savage abgelöst. Forbes war bereits seit dem 28. Mai 1930 als Premierminister im Amt. Bei den Wahlen am 1./2. Dezember 1931 gewann die Reform Party von Coates 26,6 Prozent der Wählerstimmen und 28 der 80 Sitze im Repräsentantenhaus. Forbes’ United Party erhielt 16,9 Prozent und 19 Sitze. Hinzu kam eine Unterstützung der Koalition durch vier parteilose Abgeordnete, so dass die Koalition mit 51 der 80 Sitze über eine breite absolute Mehrheit verfügte. Die New Zealand Labour Party mit als Spitzenkandidaten kam auf 34,27 Prozent und war mit 24 Sitzen vertreten. Die bislang oppositionelle Labour Party mit ihrem neuen Spitzenkandidaten Michael Joseph Savage gewann die Wahlen am 26./27.
