I very much doubt I could support either of the two options you

that are being cast now are being cast solely for Parties.

I do believe that either a 50/50 MMP system or a STV system would
diminish the effectiveness of local representation and the vital

Perhaps if you proposed a less radical change to the system, I
might support it. After the intense scurtiny of an election
campaign, I very much doubt either of those system will meet the
required threshold in the referendum.
