FFS we do NOT need to hear more from Harry Mowbray on tvnz news. MMP could perhaps be improved but we do NOT need to go back to a FPP system.

Replacing MMP with FPP, because we just had an election that very slightly vaguely looks a bit like an FPP election, and everyone fucking hates that, feels like the least serious possible answer here.

Like the cure for a hole in your head is a bigger hole in your head. =/

Also, remember FPP delivered us a NAT government - despite LAB getting more votes that NAT - in *both* 1978 and 1981 . (yeah, I'm old😬).

Sort of like today, but worse as NAT were given absolute majority power then.

In no way should we go back to FPP.

FPP but with citizens referendum for all legislation!! (drunk with cray)
November 9, 2026 at 1:11 AM
This overhang thing is very FPP vibes tbh

We have FPP right now in MMP, and this is what we get.

We should switch from FPP-MMP to STV-MMP though tbh. Just let people write a numbered list of preferences rather than two ticks

If we move back to FPP, then conceivably two parties receiving 60% of votes in total will get nearly ALL the seats in parliament. That is infinitely more anti-democratic than what we have now. FPP will favour both National and Labour, maybe that's why he wants FPP again. #nzpol

Somehow FPP returned #nzpol

...yes, MMP uses FPP for electorate seats, this is why it's called *mixed* member proportional representation.

I think every single person mooting a return to FPP should have to explain why a Parliament with 42 National MPs, 21 Labour MPs, 2 Green MPs, 5 TPM MPs, 1 ACT MP, 0 NZ First MPs, and 0 Opportunity MPs would better represent the political views of the national electorate #nzpol

i’m in Taiwan for my favourite breakfast at Fujiwara pig. 培根蛋饼。Also here for the Golden Horse film festival and FPP. And to see some new movies and see some old friends and eat more good Taiwanese food.

The Fonterra Political Party (FPP for short)?

What’s the bet Mowbray engineered the National overhang not only to sneak the election, but to piss people off about MMP sufficiently to vote against it in a referendum and Nats & the billionaires get FPP back? #nzpol

Old enough to remember FPP (though not old enough to have voted under it): it was an effing nightmare.
November 9, 2026 at 2:09 AM
(yes probably in a genuine return-to-FPP scenario we'd add electorates or whatever, you cannot do the work of Parliament with 71 MPs, but this is the current electorate distribution and that's what you gotta contend with)
November 9, 2026 at 1:12 AM
Saturday has potentially delivered a very FPP result- a government supported by less than 50% of those who voted. We need to tweak MMP to avoid this in the future

I think the FPP camera is dam cool !

Asset sales, LNG, 4 year term, FPP
November 8, 2026 at 8:13 AM
Yup, but I want STV for the electorate seats, and MMP for overall.
STV has been around long enough for local elections that people shouldn't have a problem and FPP utterly sucks.

It is indeed lovely! Good afternoon 🫶
Do you think FPP™️ plans his pooping?
November 9, 2026 at 3:06 PM
It was so so bad. FPP is a great way to run a race and a terrible way to elect a government

This whole FPP vs MMP stoush will continue for a few days I imagine.

We've had *2* refs on MMP, the public reaffirmed BOTH TIMES.

And any Party who isn't Labour or National knows they wouldn't be there without it.

This BS is gonna throw some pretty fucked-up bedfellows together now right?
