The National Party of Australia – N.S.W. is a political party in New South Wales, which forms the state branch of the federal Nationals. Traditionally representing graziers, farmers and rural voters generally, it began as the Progressive Party, from the 1922 split until 1925. It then used the name the Country Party until 1977, when it became the National Country Party. The party's name was changed to the National Party of Australia in 1982. The party, commonly referred to as "The Nationals," has generally been the minor party in a centre-right Coalition with the Liberal Party of Australia (NSW division) in government. In Opposition it has worked in formal Coalition or separately, but generally in co-operation with the Liberal Party and its predecessor, the United Australia Party. During periods of conservative government, the leader also serves as Deputy Premier of New South Wales.
