The fascist regime that made you a moron: Thanks dJonkey

Yeah ... but the same thing happened under FPP ... I will have to look up which elections .. but Governments were elected with less than 50% of the total vote - especially National.

1981 - Both National and Labout got 39% of the overall vote each - National got 47 seats - Labour got 43

1978 National got 40% of the overall vote - but got enough seats to govern ...

And there are others ...

fun fact: more people voted against them than for them but they got in because of MMP.

Yep just like the last three terms of Labour so whats you fucking point? oh that's right you just hate, no need to have a point.

bring it on, dickhead.

If you read my first post, I hate politicians. All of them I dont care what stripe they are. They are not thinkers, they are not do-ers, they are not even administrators most of the time: they are self aggrandising horrible me-first and the gimme gimme types who I would not invite into my house for coffee or a beer.

Thats my fucking point.

fool.

I think if you review some of my posts about the last Liarbor gubblemunt I have been at least as scathing as I am about this current group of djonkey and his lumpy minions.

Mr Banditbandit and I could not have (I suspect) more different political views, but I am way more likely to invite him round for a beer than I am you.

And when was the last time we had a government that represented the majority?

Muldoon?

Holyoake?

Michael Savage?

Walter Nash?

Holyoake?

Walter Nash?

Muldoon
1975 - 47.6%
1978 - 39.8%
1981 - 38.8%
In '78 & 81 he got the treasurey seats with less votes than Labour

Holyoakes highest share of the vote was 47.6%

Nash's was 48ish.

However in 1951, Sid Holland got 54% in a snap election (guess why) and had a 51% majority in 1949.
54% was good for 50 of the 80 seats in the house.

...no doubt in some measure,having at his beck and call, the backing of a largely conservative Press and the State control of radio broadcasting...

So I should be sweet

The anti protesting bill/thingy is a bit of a worry though

1972 Labour 48.4% for 55 seats, National 41.5% for 32 seats (13 seats lost on a 3.7% swing).
