The "centre-right" party in New Zealand are the Nationals, who recently won the general election. They are the political equivalent of the Republican party in the USA or the Liberal party in Australia, i.e. they represent the conservative side of politics as far as the two-party preferred system is concerned. As in all good democracies, there are a few crazy little fundamentalist factions who are more extreme right-wing than the Nationals, from whom the centre-right like to distance themselves in order to maintain mainstream appeal, but whose votes they're more than thankful to bank on.
