You won't see anything like this in American probably nor the UK and things are different in other countries in terms of how long someone holds office then because our Prime Minister can serve a maximum of 8 years if re-elected the same as the US but in Germany Chancellor Merkel's done 16 years actually in France 10 years, Spain no fixed term limit although they have elections every 4 years, and Italy 7 years rightly.

The person has to stand for a good politics. Otherwise, there's no re-election. At least, that's what my people did for 16 years of Merkel and Kohl. But then, they got banished.  |

The big day is tomorrow. Or is it today now, since NZ is a day ahead of us.

Election Day.  With early votes flowing in on election night, Jacinda Ardern’s Labour Party has taken a massive lead. Labour is out in front with 50.4 per cent of the party vote, well ahead of the National Party, which has just 26 per cent, with 14.3 per cent of the vote counted. That would give Labour 66 seats in Parliament. Looking good for a second term! |

I saw on the news about that. If Jacinda does have a second term in office considering how well she done the first time from what I've heard about her she'll do just the same this time around probably.

Congrats to Jacinda for winning her second term.

Congrats to Jacinda for winning her second term. And you guys don't have a limit on the terms, so she might even get a third term. Why ruin a good thing, if she's doing good work, keep her around for a decade. |

Yeah, if your leader is good, keep them in as long as they want to serve.

Yeah, if your leader is good, keep them in as long as they want to serve. That's what happened here with our Chancellors Kohl and Merkel. But after 16 years, they decide to have enough from the politics. |

They should leave while they are still popular.

Words cannot describe how jealous I am of New Zealand  , such a great leader. Turns out when you treat your people with respect and try to be fair to everyone AND manage to erase a virus twice you get voted for. |

Jacinda is a leader that many a country could use. We need more like her.
