Abstract

I prefer the mixed-member proportional representation
[MMP] system like they have in New Zealand. It seems to
me that having every vote count, while still retaining some measure
of regional representation, is very important. [1 page]

I applaud the efforts of those who are investigating changing
the first past the post system. From my (admittedly limited)
knowledge of other systems, I most prefer the mixed-member
proportional representation [MMP] system like they have
in New Zealand. It seems to me that having every vote count, while
still retaining some measure of regional representation, is very
important. And I've heard that MMP has increased voter
participation, especially of women and marginalized groups. I hope
this option will be given due consideration.
