2019年，在新西兰内政中，资本利得税、移民与难民、零碳、基督城恐袭与控枪等议题占据关键位置；在外交上，处理与中、美、澳等大国的关系，重视气候变化，力推“太平洋重置”计划，发展自由贸易等则是其关注的优先事项。在全球民粹主义浪潮兴起与影响增强的背景下，新西兰的内政外交在一定程度上呈现左派进步特征。2020年的大选，及其所属地区战略环境的新变化，将进一步影响新西兰未来的政治发展。
In 2019，issues like Capital Gains Tax，migrants and refugees，zero carbon，Christchurch terrorist attack and gun-control are the major ones in New Zealand’s domestic politics，and the relations with global and regional powers like U.S.，China and Australia，climate change，Pacific Reset，and free trade are the priorities in its foreign politics. Under the backdrop of the rising global popularism and its influence，New Zealand’s domestic and foreign politics are characterized by progressive leftism throughout 2019. The general election to be held in September 2020，combined with the new changes in the country’s geostrategic environment will further shape New Zealand’s politics in the near future.
