As a result of the second election under the Mixed-Member Proportional (MMP) system, New Zealand elected a change in government, a minority center-left coalition of the Labor and Alliance parties. As an independent survey that objectively studies the country's political environment, this book adds to the local debate regarding the MMP electoral system, which will continue as New Zealand looks ahead to the upcoming 606 $aElections$zNew Zealand 606 $aProportional representation$zNew Zealand 607 $aNew Zealand$xPolitics and government$y1972- 615 0$aElections 615 0$aProportional representation 676 $a324.993/038 701 $aVowles$b Jack$f1950-$0888781 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787753903321 996 $aProportional representation on trial$93769986 997 $aUNINA
