Elections

Yay the elections are here... but the problem is that we can't vote, oh well we can vote when we're 18 or older right?

What i learned this week about the elections is that:

• Every three years New Zealand holds the elections and 18 years or over get to vote.
• There are heaps of parties.
• We choose a small number of people to represent our views in the parliament. 
• Most candidates belong to a political party.
• New Zealand is divided into 70 geographical areas called electorates/ seats.
• They include seven Maori electorates.
• We live in democracy country.
• Democracy is a word from the Greek language.

And I've learnt a lot more about the elections and parliament, it's very interesting knowing all of this I hope we learn more.
