Why cater to people who can't grasp that MMP is not the same as FPP. In MMP voting you are asked two different questions:
1. Who do you want to represent your geographic area (aka electorate); and
2. Which party do you support.

No way should the result of the electorate vote (I don't want person X to represent my geographic area) should override or change the vote on which party I support. If you don't like how a party develops its party list or who is on the party list then don't vote for that party.

If you are concerned about unbridled power then you should be concerned about SM and FPP as these are systems that regularly deliver unbridled power.

Plu-leaze. This $1.2 billion saving exists only if the budget projections re growth, tax increase etc are accurate. Simply they aren't and it won't.

(And the revenue lost because of top end income earner tax cuts is more than $1.2 billion per year anyway.)

Obvious chief executives and mps once again have to step up to the plate in their usual self sacrificing manner and give themselves large enough pay increases to ensure the average increase of everyone is 4%. And continue to suffer by doing this each year for ever.
