Nz is a democracy

New Zealand has a democratic system of government where people vote for there leaders. To vote you have to be 18+, and also have to be a New Zealand citizen.  The people who represent us known as Members of Parliament. They make up the House of Representatives, which has 120 members. When people do vote they get a max of 2 votes, one for there electorate MP, and the other vote for there party. We have an election every three years, and at every election, people can vote for there leaders. The next election will be held in 2020.  I think it's good that we have a democratic system of government because people have a choice to choose who they want to be in parliament and if they're not happy then they can change there vote after three years.
