1194548 2011-04-15 07:13:00 No system will ever work. It all boils down to humans' two inherent traits: selfishness and greed. With those two things driving people, you'll never find a system that 'works'. qazwsxokmijn (102)

Hence my reluctance to go anywhere near a Polling Booth. ;)

1194555 2011-04-16 01:34:00 "The Party that rocked" A new pirate Govt is floating around on an iceberg off the southern coast of NZ making whitebait fritters and good decisions.

in other news, Jim (the PM of the future) locked himself out of the beehive and had to climb in through a window. Well done Jim, your country salutes you.

Could happen i guess :p

1194556 2011-04-16 05:24:00 There is only one genuinely fair system, "The Single Transferable Vote" where the voters preferences are used to determine who was successful - This is a system of prefential voting, different to Australia, where the voter elects his preference, as opposed to what happens here in Australia where the parties can trade preferences and attempt to influence voter behaviour at the polling station - STV works oK for Ireland.

The MMP has only given NZ one thing - weak government.

Are you sure it is not because we haven't had a decent leader. I originally thought JK was going to be quite good but camera key has just turned out to be a fiddler.
