Because New Zealand is a Democracy, it means that all citizens (who arent under 18, mentally unstable, or have recieved a prison sentence over three years) can vote for the party they want to rule. Not only does give everyone fair choice, it also demonstrates how tolerant the Government is, by letting anyone with citizenship vote. Comparing New Zealands government to say, Gaddafi's rule, can you see the difference? It is very hard for one person to come to power under a Democracy. but with Libya, all he had to do was persuade a few people, and he had complete power over the whole country.

The culture of New Zealand is strongly influenced by this, but also by the culture of the Maori who were residents of New Zealand about 500 years prior to the arrival of Europeans.
