les "general elections" sont prevues pour Nov 2008 et... nous allons pouvoir voter ;-)
"New Zealand is a democratic country in which the members of parliament (MPs) are chosen in free and fair elections. New Zealand has a single chamber of parliament which consists of the House of Representatives, which generally has 120 MPs, and the Governor-General. The house is elected for a maximum three-year term using the mixed member proportional (MMP) system.
The next general election is scheduled to take place no later than 15 November 2008.
New Zealand has an unwritten constitution and is a constitutional monarchy.
The Queen of New Zealand, Queen Elizabeth II, is the Head of State. The Queen's representative in this country is the Governor-General who has all the powers of the Queen in relation to New Zealand. Although an integral part of the process of government, the Queen and the Governor-General remain politically neutral and do not get involved in the political contest. The Governor-General does play an important constitutional role in the calling of elections, the life of Parliament, and the formation of a government."
