What time is it?.....IT'S ELECTION TIME

This week, in this post, I am going to say what I learned for Election and Parliament stuff. I've been in the 'Beehive'(also known as the Parliament) before so I know a little bit about Parliament stuff like:

  1. Every 3 years, the party and electoral vote happens.
  2. It usually happens on a Saturday.
  3. In the US, it normally happens on a Tuesday (CRAZY).
  4. There are 120 seats in the Parliament.
  5. Winston Peters was the first Prime Minister of New Zealand. 
  6. The youngest ever person to be elected is James Frederick Stuart Wortleywho was 20 years old at that time.
  7. You have to be over 18 to vote.
  8. You also have to register to vote (of course, when you're 18 or above). 
I know a lot more but I didn't want to drone on and on and on....anyway, for our topic (BTW, it's Elections 2014), we get to go to the Parliament. So I'm pretty excited for that event and I'm going to learn a lot more stuff when my class talks about Elections.

Thanks for reading.
