New Zealand has a democratic system of government when people vote for the party they want to lead, so when our parents vote they vote for a party and if that party wins they must come up as a group for who there Prime Minister should be. The people we vote for are called MP's also known as Member of Parliament. We don't vote every year but every 3rd year, which means the next New Zealand Government election is in 2020 which is next year. When we vote we are also voting for the MP's which will then become apart of the House of Representatives. The way elections work is when you vote for a party and they get half the votes they get most of the sits in the House Of Representatives,
