The Right to Vote - Activity 2

Hello Blogging world! Today's 2nd activity is about voting. At the turn of the century only men in New Zealand can vote for their government, but women was not allowed to according to the law. New Zealand's ever first government elected was Richard John Seddon. You might or might have not heard of him but no worries here is one fact about him, he was the president since 1893-1906, which was for 13 years! But law about women not allowed to vote change in the late 1800's, because of this hard working women named "Kate Sheppard." She bravely called for a change in the law, thanks to her now everyone can vote! Sadly there is still some countries that still cannot allow women to vote which is Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia only started to let women vote in 2015 and that was only 2 years ago! 

I think that it is pretty sad that women weren't allowed to vote till 2015 because everyone should have their say. It isn't fair because that means you don't get to have everyone's opinion and they don't get to choose what is best for them. 

I am really thankful that Kate Sheppard changed the law so that everyone can vote. From making this blog post I learnt that Saudi Arabia recently letting women to vote in 2015. It was hard to think that there is more than 1 law about being a man or a lady, like how women can't vote and women was not allowed to work in the old days. It was easy to write down why it isn't fair if you can't vote because everyone should have their opinion. I hope you have enjoyed this blog post! Please feel free to leave a comment. Bye! Bye!
