Abstract
I believe MMP ultimately does the best job of providing both local representation and representation of political and social ideas. A threshold vote should be required before a party can achieve a seat in the house.  [1 page]

Submission Content
I would just like to put in my $0.02 in favour of a blended Pro-Rep/First-past-the-post system similar to what is found in Germany or New Zealand [MMP]. While I realize this system does have its own unique problems and versions of it can be overly complex, I believe it ultimately does the best job of providing both local representation, and representation of political and social ideas. A threshold vote should be required before a party can achieve a seat in the house.

P.S. A personal thank-you to those who have volunteered their time to be part of the Citizen's Assembly
