He was the first Jewish prime minister of New Zealand.Historian Warwick R.Armstrong assesses Vogel's strengths and weaknesses: Vogel's politics were like his nature, imaginative – and occasionally brilliant – but reckless and speculative.
He was an excellent policymaker but he needed a strong leader to restrain him....Yet Vogel had vision.He saw New Zealand as a potential 'Britain of the South Seas', strong both in agriculture and in industry, and inhabited by a large and flourishing population.
