I think that MMP is very good as it gives both those further on the left and right a voice…. it’s not great though that it’s meant the more centrist parties have had to go further to the left or right than they would probably like in order to form governments.
That said, National should learn a thing or two from Labour in negotiating after elections to only have confidence and supply agreements with those parties “further out”. I think the current government would have been better served with only having a coalition partner with NZ First and not giving up as many things as it had to to ACT.
Next time around, if National is able to form a government, Luxon should (if he’s still leader) grow a pair and not give up as much as he has especially to ACT.
