New Zealand Election '08

It was voting day on Saturday for the Election of the two party's National - John Key and Labour - Helen Clark, we also had to vote for someone in our electorate. The voting ended at 7pm and counting started and the result came in around midnight Sunday morning. TV One and TV 3 both had a special program called Decision 08 on all night talking about it and keeping us all updated with the party vote counts % and the Electorate votes.

National - John Key took the win by quite a bit which shows that some New Zealander's wanted a change in leadership of the government for the next three years. It be interesting to see how John Key does over time as he's just started in this area. Helen Clark congratulated John and then later in her speach said she is now resigning from the Labour Party which none of her staff knew till the point she said it. Maybe Phil Goff will take her place, we shall see.
