John Key will be the new Prime Minister of New Zealand.  His National Party ended up winning 59 seats in Parliament, almost enough to govern alone.

Labour, under Helen Clark, got 43 seats.  Miss Clark conceded to Mr Key around 11:30pm, and at the same time announced she will be stepping down as Labour leader.

It is the end of an era, and no mistake.

So not cool :( Yay for the Greens (they got my candidate vote), but I'm gutted the Nats are going to be running the country. Major suck!

Me too. But it had to happen eventually. No party can stay in power forever.
