PM John Key wins New Zealand election: TV networks

Wellington (AFP) – New Zealand Prime Minister John Essential has won a third term with a strong showing in Saturday’s basic election, according to projections by top tv networks.

Each TVNZ and TV3 gave Key’s centre-right National Celebration around 48 % of the vote, meaning he can rule either in his own correct or with assistance from current coalition partners.

“That is 60 seats for National — they’re in a extremely sturdy position and with the likes of (coalition partners) ACT and United Future they would be across the line,” TVNZ political reporter Corin Dann said.

TV3 political analyst Bryce Edwards mentioned: “It is over. This is a rout. Labour, the left, has lost this one particular.”

Senior Labour MP Grant Robertson stated his party had no likelihood of winning. 

“Tonight general is not necessarily going to be the night that we wanted it to be, but what I know from the people in this area and the people out on the streets is that the values of the Labour Party are robust,” he told supporters in Wellington.

The result put an immediate question mark more than David Cunliffe’s leadership of Labour. The party’s voter support has dropped about a third considering that former leader David Shearer was ousted a year ago.

Deputy Labour leader David Parker, who also contested final year’s leadership battle, would not answer directly when asked if he would endorse Cunliffe as opposition leader in the incoming parliament.

“There is a procedure we have to go via constitutionally, but that will play out more than the days and weeks to come,” he said.

This Is What 2014's Social Networks Would Have Looked Like In 1997

It was a simpler time. Moviegoers lined up to see “Titanic.” Radios blared Hansen’s “MMMBop.” This fall’s incoming high school seniors were probably just born.

So much of life in 1997 was good. The internet was hardly a part of that. Five years before the advent of Friendster, social networking as we know it was just a twinkle in a 16-year-old Mark Zuckerberg’s eye.

But if you’re curious as to what it would have looked like to stalk friends, pin DIY crafts, and share cat videos in 1997 look no further. Artists and husband and wife duo Dragan Espenschied and Olia Lialina dialed back the clocks on some of 2014′s most popular social sites.

The project, called “Once Upon,” even features a link to download Netscape Navigator 4.03. No matter what, the site is set to load no faster than 8Kbps, or “dial-up” speed.

The world’s most famous social network, Facebook, seems like it would be perfect to update your 1997 friends with your 1997 status.

Espenschied and Lialina’s version is also a little more customizable than Zuckerberg’s thanks to some old-school draggable borders.

A classic curtain backdrop for a site that’s all about watching videos. Get it?  Once Upon’s version of the video-sharing site allows users to upload their own videos through FTP. The longest video on 1997 YouTube is 24 seconds long.

Considering Google+ is hardly popular in 2014, the 1997 version looks comparably appealing.

While modern-day Google+ revolves around “Circles,” 1997 Google+ is seemingly built on squares.

Espenschied and Lialina describe their version of Pinterest like this: “This is a great place where you can collect images you found on the World Wide Web. It is like your own home page, but on Pinterest your every picture will have beautiful borders.”

And wow, look at those borders. This pre-Y2K build of the popular social pinning site lets users register a profile and upload photos from around the web, not unlike the real thing.
