Actually we have them because people in NZ voted for them (about 35% of the country).
This is due to the simple fact that a majority of people whom live in NZ are stupid. This stupid majority voted for lots of different parties.
We have a government by proxy,determined by a random number generator, which is formed by 3,000,000 people placing a vote. A majority of these people are infact stupid, but thankfully their decisions are also determined as random. Before you ask whom the smart ones are and what they vote for - they are simply the people whom vote for what they believe in. However this means they are hoping that these promises are kept - therefore while they may be smart, they are relying on hope to get whatever they are thinking across the line.
Because a majority of people in NZ are infact stupid (polite term is "below average") , and because the remainder rely on "hope".........it is very unlikely that we would ever have the scale of revolt that overseas nations have. People with either not understand the problem, or think it was their fault.
Be thankful that NZ politicians come from the New Zealand population - which as mentioned earlier, has a stupid majority.

You are confusing median with average (mean).
I could draw you a diagram showing the majority being below average. e.g. 90% of people could be below average and 10% can be above average but would be interesting to see stats like that. I am not implying that at all.
Think of a graph showing a big, fat boob to the left of the average and a very sharp boob to the far right of the graph. Far away from the average marker.
Would you make love to that woman? No, but in saying that making love to a woman whom has a single boob spread around the average doesn't sound that appealing either.
I was actually referring to international average (not national average). See we are slipping. Not as badly as US and Australia.........but still it's a trend
IQ average in NZ is 100 according to this http://iqtest-australia.com/Test.IQ....-statistic.htm
Not that IQ is a great test of intelligence, there are people in UK who train to ace IQ tests but then attempt to burn water.
82% of us made it to form 5 which is good until then........but not so good when you think that form 6/7 is free (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_New_Zealand) which basically means that those that didn't make to U.E. did so for non-financial reason (unlike India etc)
College or University figures are even more gruesome. We have people who attend university and do not achieve a bachelors, hell we have a drop-out rate that is unheard of in other countries.
If you look at the path of where we are going - we won't just have a separation of rich/poor we will have an intelligence gap that will make that look like a walk through a future turkish mall.
