I have a strong preference for an MMP style voting system having
studied the options and worked hard to have the system changed. The
present system is leading to the degradation of our democracy by
repeatedly frustrating the citizens and making any kind of
cooperation or alliance building between politicians unlikely or
impossible. The single transferable vote [STV] system being
promoted by nick Loenen seems far too complex to gain the necessary
support and has little or no successful track record in action any
way. Pursuing it could scuttle the whole process of change. Please
recommend a system of mixed member proportional representation to
go to referendum.
