  5. What is MMP? Hmmm… • In 1993, from the Referendum we could see that people wanted to change the old FPP method into Mixed Member Proportional representation. Why? Well if you really want to know, here is a piece of brief history…In the 1990s, instead of just National and Labour Parties, more people decided to look at ‘Alternative’ Parties.

  6. But the FPP system didn’t help at all. The Social Credit Party, the largest alternative ‘third’ party since 1954, won 16% of all votes in 1978, but they only got ONE SEAT out of the massive 92 seats in the parliament. After 3 years, nearly 21% of all voters voted for Social Credit, but still…they only got 2 seats (how unfair?!). The answer was, Proportional Representation, which all parties share of the seat would be close enough to the overall vote.

  7. Which Political Position is it? National Party- Centre Right Wing Labour Party- Centre Left Wing Green Party- N/A Green Politics ACT Party- Right Wing Maori Party- Left Wing; Indigenous Rights United Future- Centre
