Submission Content
I believe the New Zealand system of voting, mixed proportional representation [MMP], is the only way that we minority voters can have our voices heard. The first past the post system only fills the needs of the multi-national corporations and their over-stuffed cronies. All that system does is clear the way for the exploitation of the people and the planet in general. There is no thought given to the quality of life of the working people. I believe the mixed proportional representation will allow more of the voices of the minority parties who speak for the working people. It will also encourage more people to come out and vote believing that their vote will be counted.
