Download or read book New Zealand Adopts Proportional Representation written by Keith Jackson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-26 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1998, this volume is based upon the files of the Royal Commission on the Electoral System plus extensive interviews with the Commissioners, cabinet ministers, MPs and officials, as well as leaders of the principal pressure groups. It seeks to place this highly important change in context, reviewing both the long-term trends and shorter term considerations which led to the adoption of MMP, as well as the immediate consequences It is an axiom of political science that whatever promises political parties may make about electoral reform, as governments they do not kick away the ladder that brought them to power. This book seeks to discover how and why that axiom was disregarded in New Zealand, and, above all, how a reputedly conservative party was ultimately responsible for the change. It provides an object lesson in both how, and how not to change an electoral system and should be of particular interest in countries with simple plurality electoral systems.
Book Synopsis Maori and Parliament by : Maria Bargh
Download or read book Maori and Parliament written by Maria Bargh and published by Huia Publishers. This book was released on 2015 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Zealand is at a watershed in its constitutional and political arrangements. There are three events looming in the short term which suggest that the status of Māori in Parliament is in for significant challenge. The first is the impending review of constitutional issues and the Māori seats as part of the National Party–Māori Party ‘Relationship and Confidence and Supply Agreement’. Secondly, the proposed referendum on the future of the mixed member proportional system (MMP) could also have significant implications for Māori. Finally, the longer term question of whether New Zealand should become a republic continues to haunt New Zealand’s political imagination, and would also necessitate lengthy debates about the place of New Zealand’s constitutional arrangements in relation to Māori rights and Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Māori and Parliament provides a comprehensive and enlightening context for understanding both the historical and contemporary relationship between Māori and Parliament and highlights many of the issues which would arise in any discussion of New Zealand constitutional reform. Māori and Parliament is a collection of nineteen presentations and papers from twenty-one academics, political commentators and current and former parliamentarians and is the result of the Māori and Parliament conference held at Parliament in May 2009. Contributors include Georgina Beyer, Hon. Simon Bridges, Damian Edwards, Te Ururoa Flavell, Dr Janine Hayward, Colin James, Shane Jones, Basil Keane, Hon. Sir Douglas Kidd, Professor Steven Levine, Sir Ngatata Love, Hon. Nanaia Mahuta, Sir Tipene O’Regan, Professor Nigel Roberts, Prof. Ann Sullivan, Metiria Turei, Hon. Tariana Turia, Dr Charlotte Williams, Dr John Wilson, Prof. Whatarangi Winiata and Dr Maria Bargh.

This book was released on 1986 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The establishment of this Royal Commission reflected concern that it was time a far-reaching and searching examination of our electoral system was undertaken. the Commission was given very wide terms of reference which required consideration not only of our electoral system but also of various other parliamentary and political arrangements ... Especially, because of the term of reference concerning Maori representation, we made a particular effort to ascertain the views of Maori people, making it clear that we were happy to receive either written submissions or oral submissions prepared and presented in ways consistent with Maori custom ... Bearing in mind that, for reasons of impartiality, it was not thought appropriate to appoint to the Commission anyone who had been a member of the House of representatives, we considered it important to hear the views of MPs ... In addition to inquiries by correspondence, various members of the Commission were able to visit the Federal Republic of Germany, the Republic of Ireland, Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom to pursue inquiries concerning matters of particular relevance to our work ... We came to the conclusion that ... it would be desirable to have accurate and factual histories both of the development of our electoral system and of Maori representation. This is primarily because any electoral system is to a crucial extent the product of the specific history and enviroment of the country concerned. We are grateful to Mr. B. Ritchie of the Justice Department who wrote almost all the general history ... We are also grateful to Professor M.P.K. Sorrenson of Auckland University who used his extensive knowledge to write the history of Maori representation. The histories are published as Appendices A and B to our Report ..."--Preface
Book Synopsis Does Māori Representation Matter? by : Kim Margaret Summersby
Download or read book Does Māori Representation Matter? written by Kim Margaret Summersby and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This thesis investigates the relationship between Māori descriptive and substantive political representation in New Zealand's parliament and local government. The 1993 parliamentary electoral reforms and optional changes to the structure of local body elections in 2001-02 aimed, in part, to help increase Māori descriptive representation. The overall number of elected Māori representatives in parliament has grown, and the proportion of Māori representatives in local government could increase should electoral reforms be implemented. Consequently, arguments based on democratic justice and equality for ensuring an adequate Māori political presence are being superseded by questions of who Māori MPs and Māori local councillors represent, and whether these representatives are making a difference in politics. This study examines the extent to which elected Māori representatives feel a specific responsibility to represent Māori and the ways Māori substantive representation is manifested. It also considers how institutional arrangements and attitudinal factors constrain or facilitate the promotion of Māori interests. This thesis presents case study analyses of Māori substantive representation based on in-depth interviews with elected Māori representatives. It is supported by an examination of three specific issues relevant to parliament, to help demonstrate how Māori MPs react and respond to issues of importance to Māori "--Abstract.

Book excerpt: What happens when a country moves away from British-style, two-party politics and towards multiparty politics, adopting a European system of 'mixed member' proportional representation (MMP)? New Zealand's historic first MMP election was held on 12 October 1996. Voters' Victory? examines what New Zealanders could expect from MMP on the basis of international experience and theory, then focuses on the distinctive features of the election and its outcome: the party changes; the patterns of voting; how people used their two votes; how well they understood MMP; shifts in support for parties and leaders in the campaign; the composition of the new Parliament; the capture of the Maori seats by New Zealand First; and the fateful National-New Zealand First coalition outcome.
