Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The leader of New Zealand's Labour party has conceded the election to the prime minister, paving the way for John Key to return for a second term as the nation's leader.
A dominant performance by Key's National Party, however, appears to be coming up just short of giving him enough votes to govern alone. But Key will likely find enough support among minor parties to shore up his leadership.
With most of the vote counted Saturday, the National Party was projected to win 60 seats in a parliament of 121 seats, an increase of two from the current parliament.
The Labour party had just 27 per cent of the vote, meaning it will lose about nine of its 43 seats and prompting party leader Phil Goff to concede to Key.
