[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 5989996, member: 63856"] If it helps, we (the NZ majority) voted to keep our present gov't OUT but they got IN, based on a referendum to "trial" a mixed member proportional (MMP) system that we (the NZ majority) would never have agreed to if we realised that it creates a state where several minorities together can undo the wishes of a majority. Fortunately for them, the first referendum was never undone at the end of it's trial period because the second referendum went largely unnoticed due to media distraction techniques (ring any bells?) The real winners: the extra members of parliament, who do very little except sit in parliament and keep shtum. You guys definitely don't have this one all to yourselves :rolleyes: ..but you're still welcome to invest in broilers and suave hair .. [/QUOTE]
