NZ election results tonight have shown a "changing of the guard" so to speak, not one that the left wing wanted to see though! National has won a substantial portion of the votes and it looks as if the next Prime Minister will be from their party, Prime Minister-Elect John Key.
That doesn't mean much to many people outside the country, but lets just say in a way NZ went in the opposite direction of what the US did earlier this week. Well, with the exception of the fact that like Obama, John Key is a relatively young guy (47) who has been in the national political scene a relatively short time (just 6 years), he's seen as a bit of a centrist, and has energised the National Party this election year. I mean, come on, he used a similar "Vote for Change" mantra.
It's no big surprise really, change was in the air here too, and the Labour Party has been in charge for the last 9 years, so that's the way it goes I guess. *sighs*
Should be quite interesting to see what happens with the National Party in the coming months!
