JC: MMP Brought About the MP

If they can’t deal with reality then they are of little use when it comes to running the country and they are more of a hindrance than a help. We don’t need their war dance theatrics and we don’t need their insults.

One of the reasons Kiwis voted for MMP was because they felt the First Past the Post system resulted in a parliament that was not reflective of how they voted. The door was shut on the smaller parties that secured a reasonable amount of support, meaning those who voted for them were not represented. The introduction of MMP was designed to overcome this problem.
