Submission Content
I urge the Assembly to recommend a form of mixed member proportional representation [MMP], an electoral mechanism that has a proven track record around the world in generating results that reflect the democratic will of the voters. In particular, I would urge that the Assembly resist recent suggestions for a "Preferential Plus" system that would apply different criteria to voting in rural and urban areas. This proposal, transparently designed to over-represent areas where right wing support is highest, is ill considered and anti-democratic, and should be promptly discarded.
