It’s worth mentioning that there some other elections taking place this weekend.
New Zealand looks certain to have a new government after about 3 million Kiwis – almost 10% of whom live in Australia – cast their votes tomorrow.
National polls yesterday gave the National Party of John Key a strong lead over the incumbent Labour Party of Helen Clark, who has been prime minister since 1999.
With the economy officially in recession and its budget plunging into deficit last month, most commentators have been tipping for weeks that Miss Clark’s four-term period at the top is coming to an end.
You may recall that John Key is Jewish and has an interest in Israel.
Helen Clark is simply a disgrace.
I’m guessing that there will be more consensus amongst Israellycool readers regarding their preferred candidate in these elections.
