I'm 19 years old. I have huge political ambitions. i am studying politics at Auckland Uni. I support the Labour Party (New Zealands current government). I'm straight acting, but openly gay. I'm handsome and responcible looking. Do you think in 25 year i could be ellected P.M?

4th Aug 2008, 07:40 PM

probably not, but I would encourage you to be elected locally first...you never know!

InaRut · 4th Aug 2008, 07:43 PM

Get more involved in politics and anything is possible.

4th Aug 2008, 07:48 PM

I guess you are both right but keep in mind our M.P govt is different from your American one.

jazzrawr · 4th Aug 2008, 07:53 PM

Well, if it's what you want, i think you should go for it.

Anything can happen.

Mirko · 4th Aug 2008, 08:18 PM

If you want to become a PM then go for it. As InaRut mentioned, get more involved in politics. Try to get involved both at the local and state levels. The more contacts you make and the more people you get to know, the easier it will be to get a job within the government, say like as an assistant to an MP (which should be your first step). Learn the ropes as it were. From there, try to get elected as an MP, etc... If you keep at it, and believe in yourself, absolutely anything can happen. Go for it!!

Bryan90 · 4th Aug 2008, 08:42 PM

25? Probably not... Lol.. You'd make the youngest P.M. I believe.. But if you really aspire to be one.. then there is no such thing as impossible..

Veridian · 4th Aug 2008, 11:51 PM

Absolutely! I totally believe you could be!! The world is changing, and I think that would be an excellent symbol to our world. I urge you to continue in your political ambitions. If that is your dream, don't let anyone tell you no. I love politics as well, and as a fellow commonwealther (I'm from Canada) you will do fine!

matt3208pc · 4th Aug 2008, 11:55 PM

Yay, politics, one of my few passions at school. Honestly i think if you try hard enough, get involved and are outspoken enough to be noticed by a party, you will have a chance. The only way to get to the top is to start at the bottom and work your way up. good luck.

5th Aug 2008, 12:57 AM

Go for it! I'll vote for you lol!

Well helen clark is a man and likes men dosent she?

Its good to see young people who have an intrest in politics i hate people who dont care in the slightist about politics...

**Gerry** · 5th Aug 2008, 01:54 AM

I think you should start out small and work your way up. That's probably the best way to go about with something like that.

5th Aug 2008, 04:39 AM

Thanks for all the support so far. Great to here from a fellow Kiwi, Hidden Angel. And its fantastic to see so many young people who actually give a damn about politics.

8th Aug 2008, 12:31 PM

i dont know. i dont know anything about new zealand attitudes towards such issues. but i thnk you should go for it anyway.

**EM68** · 8th Aug 2008, 12:38 PM

I am not too sure that what the attitude is in NZ towards gays and lesbians. If they are open then maybe anything is possible. Also you never now what would happen 25 years from now. There is an openly gay congressman from my state. I am not too fond of his politics because he is ultra liberal. I lean a little bit to the right. Good luck!

Bryan90 · 8th Aug 2008, 01:22 PM

Oh.. And I found out that David Lange became the youngest PM at the age of 42. So I guess I was mistaken and you wouldn't be the youngest PM at 44 lol.

Try shortening your goal to 20 years.
