Put very simply, if a party gets 10% of the party vote, it gets 10% of the seats in parliament (10% of 120 = 12 seats). This is why the party vote is the more powerful vote, because it determines the number of seats in parliament it gets. Hold on. What happens if say: National get 45% (54 seats) Labour gets 45% (54 seats) NZ First gets 10% (12 seats) And a little old independent or other minor party wins an electrol seat for their district? 121 seats?

The little old independent or other minor party will hold all the power, if you heard NZ Firsts statement today.	Rob99 (151)

One of those parties will not get the full quota of seats. If the independant wins an electoral seat then they are an MP. If they have enough list votes, as with the Progressive Party, they will get an additional seat. So Labour and National would probably only get 53 each.	Winston001 (3612)
