Submission Content
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.
