What the New Zealand Elections mean to Immigrants

So I told you that my posts would be all over the place and as the prime minister has announced the date of the national elections, I thought to write a small short piece about this. Elections, immigration blog, why would I be writing about this you may ask? The reason is that the government plays a big role in what immigration is doing and how this will influence immigration to New Zealand.

Some random thoughts from my side. I think the National Party think they have this one in the bag. From what people are saying, the current Government has not done soo much right, but also not so much wrong. There are quiet a few people that are not very fond of Simon Bridges, this might cost them the votes. The other thing is that we have a "new generation" that will be voting for the first time, and Jacinda is doing things right on the social media side. This might make a difference for them. So interesting times for all of us, those that want to come to New Zealand as well as those waiting for residency.

Soon after 19 September we will know.

We can only hope that the elected government will manage immigration correctly. They know New Zealand has a huge skills shortage as they are busy linking immigration to education systems to try and solve this. Immigrants are needed in New Zealand and we are looking for a country to call home. It is a win win situation if managed correctly. There are however some politicians that see us as a threat to "their" New Zealand. The world is a global village now, we are not here to "take over" your beloved country, we are here to help keep New Zealand the great country it is and leave our children with a future in this beautiful country.
