Professor Richard Shaw - MMP 30 Years On

In 1996 New Zealanders voted under the new mixed-member proportional (MMP) electoral system for the first time. Tired of old electoral rules which routinely handed power to either National or Labour, even when they won less than 50% of the vote and disenchanted with governments which routinely abused their electoral mandates, many citizens hoped the new system would usher in a different style of politics. Three decades down the track, Professor Richard Shaw, Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa Massey University asks: Have things worked out that way? What, if anything, has changed? And what is the future for not only MMP, but the wider political system in Aotearoa New Zealand? Produced by Manawatū People's Radio with the support of New Zealand on Air. Listen On Demand
