George William Forbes (12 March 1869 - 17 May 1947) was Prime Minister of New Zealand from 1930 to 1935.
Often referred to as "Honest George", Forbes was well known for his rare debating skill and impressive memory, and his courteous and friendly attitude earned him the liking and respect of colleagues from all sides of the House.
Forbes and Veitch were both candidates for the leadership of the United Party, but the position was eventually won by a former Liberal Party Prime Minister, Joseph Ward.
