	New Zealand general election, 2005 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The election saw a strong recovery by National, winning 21 more seats than at the 2002 election, when it had suffered its worst result since it first fought a general election in 1938.
		On 17 October, Clark announced a new coalition agreement that saw the return of her minority government coalition with the Progressive Party, with confidence-and-supply support from New Zealand First and from United Future.
		New Zealand First's involvement in such a coalition would have run counter to Peters' promise to deal with the biggest party, and Turia and Sharples would have had difficulty in justifying supporting National after their supporters' overwhelming support for Labour in the party vote.

	Election Resources on the Internet: Elections to the New Zealand House of Representatives
		Fifty-five percent of the electorate took part in the vote, in which a proposal to establish a new electoral system was overwhelmingly approved in the first part of the referendum, with 1,031,257 votes (84.7%) in favor, against 186,027 votes (15.3%) for retaining the existing system.
		Electorate seats are filled by the plurality or first-past-the-post method, under which the candidate obtaining the largest number of votes in each constituency is elected.
		The electorate seats won by a party at the constituency level are then subtracted from the total number of seats allocated to that party's list, and the remaining seats are filled by the candidates on the party list in the order determined before the election.

	New Zealand Election Study - NZES-Based Resarch
		This puzzle is examined using pooled validated data from the 1996 and 1999 New Zealand Election Studies, with particular attention to the effects of partisan dealignment, party mobilization and the short-term effects of New Zealand’s first experience of coalition government since the 1930s.
		In New Zealand's first election held under proportional representation, voters who are on the extreme left were significantly more likely to participate than previously leading to an overall increase in turnout.
		Abstract: After 2002, the year of the third MMP election in New Zealand, this paper asks whether we may be through the process of electoral system transition and may now simply treat the various electoral outcomes as 'normal' responses to the economic and political events of the government's term of office.

	Asia Society: Publications - President Roh Moo-hyun and the New Politics of South Korea
		Brought up in a democratic era, the new generation tends to be more self-expressive and assertive, a marked contrast to the older generation, survivors of three decades of authoritarian regimes that suppressed political expression and public demonstrations.
		At his first press conference after the election, Roh said that “large corporations are essential for economic growth, but we need to reform the inefficient chaebol system.” In his campaign promises, the liberal candidate pledged both reform of the chaebol-dominated economic system and 7 percent economic growth.
		Another crucial task for the new administration is to deal with the tide of new politics that swelled during the 2002 election campaign.

		I see that all the New Zealand-based political bloggers are refraining from posting anything about the elections today (and many have closed off or are monitoring their comments), because New Zealand law is pretty strict when it comes to not being allowed to do any sort of campaigning on election today, including on the internet.

		Elections should be determined "by the votes cast by the people, not by politicians."

		Gore's endorsement, and the general Democratic consensus forming behind Dean, may not be as positive as it seems now.

	Bloomberg.com: Japan
		Koizumi's decision to call elections for Sept. 11 after parliament rejected his bill to sell the state-run postal service follows through on his statement after taking office in 2001: Nothing would be ``sacred'' in efforts to cut spending, close state-owned companies and revive the economy, he said.
		The party has gained on the LDP in the past two national elections, handing the LDP its worst election defeat in 15 years in July last year when it won 50 seats in elections to pick 121 upper house lawmakers, one more than Koizumi's party.
		In the last elections in November 2003 for the more powerful 480-seat lower house, the LDP lost eight seats while the DPJ, which had 176 lawmakers in the chamber against 249 for the LDP before today's dissolution, returned 40 more members.

		If only it were possible to read warmongers bemoaning the "apathy" of the British electorate without one's laughter being overtaken by the urge to throw up.

		In 2005, we have an election, not politics; a media court, not critical debate.
