[QUOTE="holwellcourtfarm, post: 4314292, member: 42914"] Damned right(y) For the Brits, here's how democracy in NZ works: There are 2 parts to the vote slip, the local MP you want and the party you want in power. [LIST] [*]The local MP getting most votes represents the constituency. [*]The parties are allocated seats in parliament in accordance with their proportions in the party vote, subject to a 5% minimum. [*]Each party fills their seats first from their members elected to represent a constituency. [*]The remaining seats for each party are filled from their "party list" [/LIST] The maths works because there are many more seats than constituencies (120 seats and 89 constituencies IIRC). [/QUOTE]
