Proportional representation on trial

Description:

This book looks into the dynamics of an election campaign dominated by two closely matched women leaders; the return of Maori voters to Labour; the emergence of the Greens; and the developing foundations of the Labour-Alliance coalition. It traces the evolution of public attitudes to MMP, presents a comprehensive assessment of the effects of proportional representation, and discusses the experiment of the two citizen-initiated referendums.
