2008 Election in New Zealand

New Zealand's Labour Party leader Helen Clark, left, and husband Peter Davis arrive to vote in the New Zealand general election at Kowhai Intermediate School, Auckland, New Zealand, Saturday, Nov. 8, 2008. The two major parties _ Prime Minister Helen Clark's Labour and conservative John Key's Nationals _ are almost certain not to gain a majority in the 123-seat Parliament in their own right. A complex proportional voting system ensures significant numbers of seats will go to a handful of small parties. Photo from AP Photo by Wayne Drought
