What would the independent review of MMP include? From the Ministry of Justice website: The legislation provides that the Electoral Commission must review: The 5 per cent party vote threshold for a party to be eligible for allocation of list seats. The one electorate seat threshold for a party to be eligible for allocation of list seats. The effects of population change on the ratio of electorate seats to list seats. The effect of a party's candidates winning more seats than the party would be entitled to as a result of the party vote on the ratio of electorate seats to list seats. The capacity of a person to be both a constituency candidate and list candidate. A party's ability to determine the order of candidates on its party list and the inability of voters to rank list candidates in order of preference. The Electoral Commission must also consider matters referred to it by the Minister of Justice or the House of Representatives, and may consider other matters. The Commission must not review Maori representation or the number of members of Parliament. |

To then tick FPP reveals further a person who is sick of pandering to the king-making minor parties, but at the same time is naive enough to believe there is a chance of FPP coming back. So, the cap on the IQ will be something like 105. If you like - just a middle of the road supporter of labour or National. |

Some interesting points concerning MPs who are defeated in their electorate but get in via the party list. http://norightturn.blogspot.com/2011...candidacy.html
