Book Description Paperback. Condition: Fair. 206 pages. Cover worn. Name on ffep. Stains on first few pages In a controversial move recently, New Zealanders voted to intro duce a new electoral system known as mixed member proportional (M MP). In 1996 the first election will be held under this system. S upporters of MMP claim that it will reduce the power of the cabin et, enhance the role and influence of Parliament, increase public consultation, more accurately represent the people's political p references, and end the old adversarial style of politics. Critic s, however, fear that it will create political uncertainty, gover nmental instability, policy paralysis and economic stagnation. Ne w Zealand Under MMP assesses the long-term impact of these change s on New Zealand's political system. The authors consider how the party system could evolve, how governments will be formed, and w hat differences can be expected in the roles of cabinet and Parli ament. Attention is also given to the implications of MMP for key groups of voters, as well as the consequences for the public ser vice, pressure groups, and policymaking.
