Update: NZ First has made their decision, I was wrong in my prediction that they would back the largest party (and block) and they went with Labour after Special votes evened the playing field a little with National losing 2 seats to Labour and the Greens. The Greens will give the Labour NZ First government support with a confidence and supply agreement, giving them a handful ministerial posts outside of cabinet while Winston Peters has been offered the position of Deputy Prime Minister along with some other ministerial positions for his party.

It's not that you were wrong, you just hadn't accounted for the special votes, if they were only going to have a 61 seat majority then Winston would have gone with National because 61 is too unstable, National lost two seats through by-elections last term, Labour would only need to lose 1 for the government to crumble so on those numbers your assessment was correct. However with boosted numbers Labour/Greens was the obvious pick for NZ First given their common ground, the fact that they were the Opposition together and the fact that neither party tried to destroy his party by releasing details around his superannuation payments.

Also, history was on Labour's side here. Winston Peters has played Kingmaker twice before, in 1996 and 2005. Each of those times, he backed the incumbent party for their 3rd term., then got hammered at the next election after that. (Its worth noting that its rare for a government in NZ to last less than 2 terms or more than 3.) Hence, Winston learned his lesson, and backed a new incoming government that hadn't collected up lots of baggage. I also think the alleged leaking of his pension payments by National left a sour taste in his mouth.

You didn't mention special votes, which normally swing towards the left. With 300,000 of these, it may cause a few seats from Nats to go to the Lab and green party. Ofcourse it wont be enough for majority, and kingmaker Winston Peters will be the decider, It helps increase the majority that this coallition will have.

Hmm fair enough. I think the ABC does the same reversal at Australian elections. I'm curious as to how accurate you think the _placements_ of each of the parties that TVNZ has provided are. I haven't followed the parties particularly closely, but I did notice that the placements given by the Political Compass (at www.politicalcompass.org/ ) are quite different than TVNZ's placement -- and not just in terms of where they put the centre. For example, TVNZ has NZ First as left moderate, while PC puts them as centre authoritarian. As I said, I have no idea which, if either of them, is most accurate. Just found the disparity quite interesting.

TVNZ scores on a Progressive - Conservative axis while politicalcompass scores Authoritarian - Libertarian, that may be part of the reason. I can see merit to both. NZ First can go either way, that's their strength. It could also be caused by differences in national views For example, in NZ antiimmigration is more of a left-wing idea (coming from limiting foreign investment) while in Europe antiimmigration is more right-wing (and with a more xenophobic flavour).

OK, on second watch through of this, there was one thing that really stood out to me as odd. And it's the political manoeuvring made possible by the way MMP party lists work. You described two examples in this most recent election: Labor with the Maori seats, and ACT/National with ACT's one electorate. This is the sort of thing that seems tailor-made to _encourage_ the exact sort of strategic voting that better voting methods are designed to prevent. To take it to the extreme, a party could split itself into two separate parties: one contests only electorates (I'll call it party E), and one contests only proportional seats (party P). They coordinate and ask voters to be strategic, not only in a single seat like with the ACT, or with just the Maori seats like Labor did, but over _all_ the seats. This would surely make it look like party P was vastly underrepresented, and so they would get an enormous number of seats in the PR process. Sure, the overhang system would mean it's not _quite_ as bad as if you didn't have that, but it would still make party P+E way more powerful than the system is designed to intend. That, to me, seems like an enormous problem with MMP. Unless I'm missing something?

I tend to agree. I was actually slowly coming around to the idea of MMP (after initially being against it for quite reactionary reasons) until this video which made me realise that one big flaw. But I quite naturally find myself liking STV quite a lot. We use it in Australia for our Senate, but I also really like the Irish system of making it essentially like IRV with multiple electorates merged into one, just like John Cleese advocates for in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIS4fICXZsiMfs0 Though I do think that Ireland's 3-5 seat electorates could be in some cases problematic. Ideally, I'd have thought, 4-6, maybe even up to 8, would be an ideal number to get proper proportional representation.

What your describing is called a decoy list. And it can be an issue in certain mixed systems like MMP. In an election in Italy in the 2001 several decoy lists were run, turning Italy's mixed system (called scorporo) into a de facto parallel system. Preventing the usage of decoy lists is one thing that any country adopting MMP should be cognizant of.

Jim Cullen One problem with larger constituencies is that it's harder to canvas for votes over a broad area. Already, constituencies can cover more than one local authority area (I live in County Offaly, part of the Laois-Offaly constituency), each of which can have different rules about roadside politic advertising. People tend to vote for someone from their own county.

I don't think you should be calling Winston's choice either way. Firstly we need to await the specials, a lot of student's who study away from their enrolled electorate will be in this count, as well as first time voters who enrolled and voted at the same time. (after the official rolls were printed.) This gives them a left-leaning demographic. Secondly it's Winston, he's not exactly the most predictable person on the planet. Personally I think he should go with the left bloc, now that's not me calling it, it's basically 50/50. Anyway, his campaign slogan was "Had enough" - does anyone who voted for this want the status quo? His policies are also more aligned with Labour, have a look at his "bottom lines" as summarised here -> www.reddit.com/r/newzealand/comments/71xp2p/the_most_important_man_in_new_zealand_right_now/dneyf1k/ Full disclosure; Labour voter.

1:59: I'm a little confused by the concept of an overhang seat. I looked at wikipedia, but it was still confusing. The version that I was able to understand was one where if one party gets more district seats than the party vote says it should, all the other parties get extra seats to keep the results proportional, increasing the number of seats. That doesn't seem to be the way you describe it. The video that helped me understand the system was in the context of German elections. Is this simply a difference between Germany and New Zealand's version of MMP, or did I understand the video wrong?
@Soliloquy084
@Soliloquy084 Жыл бұрын
Yeah, this is a difference between the German and Kiwi implementations of MMP. Germany uses "leveling seats" to maintain proportionality when a party earns overhang seats. This comes at the expense of having far more extra seats added to the house. New Zealand doesn't give out these leveling seats, sacrificing full proportionality in order to keep the number of extra seats more limited.

A similar thing is going on in British Columbia, Canada, under FPTP. 3 parties got into government: Green with 3 seats, the NDP (generally left-wing) getting 41, and the Liberals (generally centre to centre-right) also getting 43 seats. This made the Green Party the kingmakers, who decided to go against the incumbent party of four terms, and put in power the NDP. The old premier stepped down, and a Liberal became Speaker, making the current total 41+3 for the NDP-Green Coalition, and 41 for the Liberal opposition.

​@@kordellswoffer1520 I'm talking about BC provincial politics. The BC Liberals, now BC United, were formed by uniting centre and right wing parties to counter the surging NDP (then CCF) in the '50s, and haven't been affiliated with the national Liberals since the '80s. The BC NDP have moved rightward into a more centrist position since John Horgan took over the party. Don't get me wrong, they still have a pretty decently lefty bent to them, but the party is decidedly less left wing currently than it has been in the past. You're right, if I were talking national politics, I'd be dead wrong. That's part of what makes BC provincial politics so interesting to me, how you have all the standard canadian political parties, but they are in very different roles. Even the Greens, who I didn't talk so much about here, are very different from their national counterparts.

great video but its worth researching how to pronounce Maori names. It's Me-ti-ri-a Tu-rei (not me-te-ri-a-ma Tu-re-a) and Ma-ra-ma Fox (not ma-ri-a-ma). For some reason you inserted a few more syllables that are there!
