Submission Content
I would like to suport a proportional representation (Mixed Member Proportional, MMP) as opposed to the current system. It is absurd that a party getting 58% ofo the vote gets 97% of the seats. That basically leaves 42% of the voters without elected representatives to represents their opinions and choices. If we are to have a real democracy we need another sytem.
