Voting in the Referendum

I've been thinking about this over the past few days too. It's really hard isn't it? All the systems have their pros and cons I guess.

I like the idea of MMP but I hate the way it can result in one person, whom hardly anyone voted for (ie Winston!!), having the power to choose which party will be in Government. So I am kind of leaning towards Supplementary Member, which is basically the same but the proportion of the party vote you get only gives you a proportion of 30 seats rather than 120. The rest are electorate seats. That way the smaller parties still get a voice but not disproportionately.   

But definitely haven't made up my mind yet and will be watching this thread with interest :)

I'm going to a lecture about this is in a week or so as I can't decide.

TBH I still think MMP is the best option they are offering - if they made changes to it as far as thresholds go or what positions members can hold depending on their seats they get (like how the smallest member in a coalition can hold such great power because they know they hold the tie-breaker card). I definitely don't see a return to FPP, supplementary member would have to be looked at seriously - I think with the amount of whole party politics we've been bombarded with, most of us don't know as much about the electorate candidates as we should. Supplementary member would be a mess at first I would think.
