We get a system of “democratic”? process (without the benefit of any citizen’s democracy involved in its formation) … titled “MMP” that somehow transmutes to include …
… “list” member seats
… seats based on ethnicity
… a hard wired 5% boundary for Party franchise and
… no (constitutional) rules-based process for forming coalitions.
And Bernard. If a system has “flaws” such as these do we not try to “fix them”?
