    STV IMO is the better option.

    Come to think of it even if there was a perfect system out there, our politicians would still fuck it up.
    Keep on chooglin'

    The only thing holding NZ back...is not being homogeneous. We can't agree with each other about anything.

    Very true, but I would add that what is holding NZ back is the people who blame everyone else for their problems - rich people having too much, beneficiaries bludging my hard earned taxes, Labour for wasting money, National for lacking ideas, the Greens for being luddites who hate business, Maori for being lazy, Asians for driving badly etc etc etc.....

    My life is good and getting better, and it was good and getting better under Labour. Sometimes i hit rocky patches and shit happens, but when that happens I have learned that complaining and blaming National, Labour or the prick down the road with the ugly SUV is pointless because they ain't gonna change what they're doing to look after me. The current government are halfwits and have no idea bout how to help business, just like the last lot, and probably like the next lot, so I look at the rules and the playing field and shape what I do to suit.

    How well I do has nothing to do with who's in government and everything to do with what's in my head.
    Don't blame me, I voted Green.
