1984

He did not renew his membership in 1984 and later joined the newly formed Green Party and stood for election in 1989 for the Wellington City Council on a Green ticket.

A Labour official downplayed the rumour but did not rule out the possibility.

1998

In 1998 Rainbow decided not to seek re-election.

At the general election he stood as a list only candidate for National, ranked 51 he was not allocated a seat.
