A non-elected person in parliament is nothing less than undemocratic.

That is not to say that none of them have done some good work in the house in Wellington. But think about it; an un-elected list MP can hold the balance of power in NZ.

Wouldn't you rather have someone with that power to be someone you voted for?

We had the chance to dump MMP a few years ago, but sadly we wimped out.

It is crazy that a party that gets enough votes can get X amount of seats in the house. So a party made up totally of un-elected people can run or ruin this country if the split between Labour and National is as close as one seat.

At present it is basically one man.

It is amazing we voted ourselves into this situation. Who are the idiots now?
