  • The Impact of Electoral System Reform Weekend 5 : Session 2B
    The Impact of Electoral System Reform Weekend 5 : Session 2B The Impact of Electoral System Reform: The New Zealand Example Elizabeth McLeay, March 2004 I. The Impact of MMP 1. Parliament: Parties, Groups and MPs Parliamentary Composition: the parties and proportionality • Parliament changed from a dominantly two-party to a multi-party Parliament (six parties after the 1996 election, and seven after the 1999 and 2002 elections). • Very small parties have been largely excluded by the five percent threshold. The Christian Coalition in 1996 (4.3% party vote) failed to pass the threshold and many other parties fell far short of it. But the one-seat threshold brought in NZ First (1999); and the Progressive Coalition (2002). • The share of the seats awarded to the parties that passed the threshold has been close to the share of their nationwide votes (e.g. see the 2002 election results below). In the 2002 General Election, the following parties crossed the threshold: %Votes Constit. seats List seats %seats ACT 7.1 0 9 7.5 Green 7.0 0 9 7.5 Prog.C 1.7 1 1 1.7 Labour 41.3 45 7 43.3 National 20.9 21 6 22.5 NZF 10.4 1 12 10.8 UF 6.7 1 7 6.7 Prog.C. = Progressive Coalition; NZF = New Zealand First; UF = United Future 1 The Impact of Electoral System Reform Weekend 5 : Session 2B In the 2002 General Election, the following parties were under the threshold % votes Alliance 1.27 Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis 0.64 Christian Heritage 1.35 Mana Maori Movement 0.25 NMP 0.01 OneNZ 0.09 Outdoor Recreation 1.28 As can be seen: • The thresholds have affected parliamentary composition • The traditional parties – Labour and National – are predominantly constituency parties while the newer parties are predominantly list parties.

  • Proposals Paper
    REVIEW OF THE MMP VOTING SYSTEM PROPOSALS PAPER 13 AUGUST 2012 INTRODUCTION A majority of voters in the 26 November 2011 referendum voted to keep the Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) voting system.1 As a result, and as required by law, the Electoral Commission (the Commission) launched a review of MMP. On 13 February 2012 the Commission issued a Consultation Paper, a dedicated website, and an appeal for public submissions. Parliament said the review must include— • the two thresholds for the allocation of list seats • the effects of the ratio of electorate seats to list seats on proportionality in certain circumstances • the rules allowing candidates to contest an electorate and be on a party list, and list members to contest by-elections • the rules for ordering candidates on party lists • other matters referred to the Commission by the Minister of Justice or Parliament (there were none). Other issues raised by the public during the review could also be considered.2 Parliament excluded two matters from the review – Māori representation and the number of members of Parliament. These issues are being considered by the Constitutional Advisory Panel as part of the review of New Zealand’s constitutional arrangements.3 This paper sets out the conclusions the Commission has reached to date and the recommendations we propose making to Parliament when we report to the Minister of Justice, as required, by 31 October 2012. We have been greatly assisted by the 4,698 written submissions and the 116 oral presentations we received from around the country and overseas. People from all walks of life presented a wide variety of views.

  • Constructing Trans-Pacific Relationships Through Museum Displays in Oceania (2006-2016)
    Exhibiting Connections, Connecting Exhibitions: Constructing trans-Pacific relationships through museum displays in Oceania (2006-2016) Volume I Alice Christophe Dissertation Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Sainsbury Research Unit for the Arts of Africa, Oceania & the Americas School of Art, Media and American Studies University of East Anglia September 2016 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract This research explores the correlation between exhibitions and networks in the context of the 21st century Pacific. Firstly, exhibitions are envisioned as relational and connective practices that trigger interactions through their making. Secondly, exhibition-products are regarded as the result of these relationships, which bring together a wide range of agents including makers, things, spaces and epistemologies. Applying the Actor-Network-Theory to the field of exhibition studies, this thesis follows the path of six trans-Pacific museum displays. These case studies were developed between 2006 and 2016 by three major institutions of Oceania, located in Aotearoa New Zealand (Auckland Museum), Hawai‘i (Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum) and Taiwan (Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts). After a theoretical and methodological introduction, Chapter 2 dwells on the history of the institutions included in this research and pieces together the genealogical grounds for each exhibition case study. Short-term exhibitions and their capacity to open new museum routes are explored in Chapter 3.
