Ok I know very few of you care but looks like Helen Clark is back as PM of New Zealand. She won 50 of the now 122 seats in parliament, she needs the support of 3 or 4 parties to govern due in part to the overhang created by the Maori party.

Lemon Girl,
My folks were onto me as well, but it was too late. Plus I never knew how to vote overseas by the time I thought maybe I should change my view.
But I Support NZ first, Green or anyone who will give another option to democratic dictatorship, so it was maybe a foregone conclusion.
I am anti "wealthy political members" as it seems like an ogliarchial political system that we exist under and I don't have the wealth to to influence thier political choices. |
