Atkinson was elected to <a href="/wiki/New_Zealand_Parliament" title="New Zealand Parliament">Parliament</a> unopposed. In 1864, he was made <a href="/wiki/Minister_of_Defence_(New_Zealand)" title="Minister of Defence (New Zealand)">Defence Minister</a> in the government of <a href="/wiki/Frederick_Weld" title="Frederick Weld">Frederick Weld</a>. He was highly active in this portfolio, advocating a policy of <i>self-reliance</i> in the conduct of the war. In 1866, however, he retired due to the death of his wife Amelia (whom he had married in 1856). The following year, he married his cousin Annie. He returned to parliament from 1867 to 1869 for the <a href="/wiki/New_Plymouth_(New_Zealand_electorate)" title="New Plymouth (New Zealand electorate)">Town of New Plymouth</a> electorate, but in April 1869 he resigned to concentrate on maintaining his farm. </p><p>In 1872, Atkinson returned to politics for the <a href="/wiki/Egmont_(New_Zealand_electorate)" title="Egmont (New Zealand electorate)">Egmont</a> electorate; to defeat <a href="/wiki/William_Sefton_Moorhouse" title="William Sefton Moorhouse">William Sefton Moorhouse</a>, who was allied with <a href="/wiki/William_Fox_(politician)" title="William Fox (politician)">William Fox</a>, a prominent supporter of Māori land rights. Atkinson declared that he would "not see a <i>Foxite</i> get in", and narrowly defeated Moorhouse. Once in parliament, Atkinson soon became involved in economic matters, opposing the policies of <a href="/wiki/Julius_Vogel" title="Julius Vogel">Julius Vogel</a> (who also happened to be a supporter of Māori land rights). Vogel, who supported extensive borrowing to finance public works, was attacked by Atkinson as reckless. Vogel's response was that Atkinson was overly cautious, and would delay economic progress. </p><p>Atkinson and Vogel both agreed, however, that borrowing by provincial government (as opposed to the central government) was indeed out of control. The two also believed that provincial politicians were petty and self-interested, and that more co-operation was needed between provinces and the state. It was this shared view of provincial government that enabled Vogel and Atkinson to co-operate, although they never resolved their differences on borrowing by the central government or on dealings with the Māori. Atkinson eventually became part of Vogel's <a href="/wiki/New_Zealand_Cabinet" class="mw-redirect" title="New Zealand Cabinet">cabinet</a>, but not with portfolios related to negotiations with Māori or to finance. He did continue to express his opinions on these matters, but found it increasingly harder to convince people of his views. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2

One of his first acts was to abolish the <a href="/wiki/Provinces_of_New_Zealand" title="Provinces of New Zealand">provinces</a>. He also took over direct responsibility for financial policy, and implemented a less aggressive strategy for borrowing. He attempted to reform the system by which money was handled, placing all responsibility for borrowing with the government while increasing control of spending at a district or municipal level. However, growing economic problems caused his plan to encounter difficulties. As the economy declined, Atkinson became more and more unpopular. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Second_and_third_terms">Second and third terms</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Harry_Atkinson&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Second and third terms"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Atkinson lost power in 1877, only slightly over a year after he gained it. He entered opposition, continuing to promote his ideas of financial caution. He also proposed a number of other measures, including national insurance. In 1883, he managed to make a comeback, gaining the Premiership for eleven months before losing it to <a href="/wiki/Robert_Stout" title="Robert Stout">Robert Stout</a>. The two then engaged in a protracted struggle for the leadership. A strong counter-offensive by Atkinson enabled him to unseat Stout again after only twelve days. Stout, however, was not so easily defeated, and took the Premiership again after seven days. This time, Stout held his position for three years, defeating Atkinson's attempts to oust him. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Fourth_term">Fourth term</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Harry_Atkinson&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Fourth term"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>There was confusion in Wellington in September 1887 when the members gathered to form a government. <a href="/wiki/John_Bryce" title="John Bryce">John Bryce</a>, <a href="/wiki/Robert_Stout" title="Robert Stout">Robert Stout</a> and <a href="/wiki/William_Rolleston" title="William Rolleston">William Rolleston</a> had all lost their seats.

So there was no alternative to Harry Atkinson, and after two weeks of negotiations he announced a ministry on 11 October. Only two ministers had served with him before. The <i>Scarecrow Ministry</i> was not expected to last, but did. The years 1887 and 1888 were the worst of the Long Depression, and Atkinson cut salaries, raised loans and raised customs duties.
