I think you are being too cynical. It became apparent early on that the voters (apart from politicians?) grasped the concept of tactical voting.
As for "representative"? How about Roger Douglas? Voted in by the left and then he subjected the country to an extreme right wing restructuring. Ignoring whether or not the sffects were beneficial, there was no way anybody voted for that.
Later we had Shipley and Richardson who gave us a needless recession while the rest of the world enjoyed a period of prosperity.
FPP is dead and buried and bloody good job. Can we go back to having less MPs now? That gerrymander failed.

Nah, all I ever want is for a single political entity, (a predefined group is fine) to offer a coherent set of policies that constitute a viable plan to grow the economy.
And then FUCKING STICK TO IT.
Much as you may not have like previous FPP results you can't ignore the fact that others did. If Douglas hadn't dumped the last of the socialist dogma in favour of open market policies, for example, most economists had us dead in the water.

It's not that difficult is it?
Why does any party have to get an arbitrary 50% of the vote to be the most popular? That model goes back to previous generations, with just the two parties.
You could have 10 parties, 9 of which average 9.9% of the vote, and the most popular might be fuck all over 10%.
Again, so fucking what?
