Part I: The Schnapps Election
Late at night on the 14th of June 1984 Robert Muldoon after conferring with cabinet colleagues announced to a shocked nation that a election would be held the next month (July 1984) after answering a series of questions with the press gallery that had gathered in the halls of the Beehive he then returned to office and sat glancing outside his window. Ruth Richardson arrived the next morning demanding to have a view of the nation's balance of payments, he refused and after a tense cabinet meeting he returned once more to campaigning. He claimed that there was "No bones in the Labour Party's economic policy, no bones in Jelly Fish, no bones in Tripe!", this however was overshadowed by the half-empty halls in Rotorua which reflected terribly on the National Party as a whole. Meanwhile, the rejuvenated Labour opposition was running a spectacular campaign with its charismatic leader David Lange ultimately found out about the balance of payments crisis the shadow Finance Minister Robert Tizard had received memorandums on the crisis from Treasury suggesting a immediate 25% devaluation and other radical reforms including deregulation of financial markets, privatization. Shaken by this news the election campaign continued, loans continued to flow in from the United States and Japan.
