Submission Content
In my understanding of the forms of electoral reform being proposed I have come to endorse the Mixed Member Proportional system. The reason for this being that when a party comes into office they can push an agenda leaving very little room, if any, for opposing positions. The MMP system would ensure consideration of a wider variety of citizens' concerns and generally providing a voice for a broader section of the population. The current situation we're in now does is not the recipe for a healthy democracy as evidenced by a wide degree of voter apathy and political alienation.
