Day 14 – Powerful People
You are now fully recharged having spent the last few days watching TV and listening to music in your hotel room. You decide to go for a walk. As soon as you step outside you see a big bus drive past. On the side of the bus is a huge picture of the leader, the president/prime minister, of the country. They are the most powerful person in the whole country.
Scroll down to learn more about the prime minister and/or president for your chosen country.
Activity 1
Here in New Zealand, the prime minister of the country is the Honourable John Key. Imagine that you are Mr. Key and you have the power to create laws (rules) that all people in New Zealand would have to follow. If I (Rachel) were the prime minister I would make a rule that everyone should eat lollies for breakfast. What three (3) rules would you make up if you were the prime minister? On your blog tell us what your three rules would be.
* On a very hot day, people around the country buys each other (or a stranger) an ice cream/Ice Block.
* We have fundraisers for the homeless or unfortunate.
* Workersget enough time for a break, so they would enjoy it!

Hi Aaliyahna,
I love your new laws!!! They're so generous and thoughtful, showing how much you care for other people. Lovely!
I'm glad that you chose to learn a little bit about Hilary Clinton. Although she isn't a politician in my country, Canada, I have found her to be an inspiring woman as she has shown great courage in trying to make changes to help ordinary citizens in the US. She is very concerned about improving health care for all, and in improving the lives of the poor. I think you have a lot in common with her!
Although you are concerned that you might make some mistakes while being prime minister of New Zealand, I suspect that you would make many important things happen because you are so kind in your thinking. I hope that you will consider being a politician one day!

Hi Aaliyahna,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Kia ora again Aaliyahna!
What a great blog! It seems the question about is a bit outdated, as Donald Trump was the one who won! But apart from that you've provided some really good answers and laws. I hope that we get a PM that really looks after the poor and everyone too.
Having real breaks is important, but also being paid well is too. If you were PM, how would you argue that low wage workers deserve better pay?
I'd be interested in that answer.
Kia kaha, it looks like you haven't posted in a few days! I hope you're enjoying the break and to see you back online soon!
