Activity 1: Mixed-Member Proportional (MMP)
In 1996, New Zealand adopted the MMP voting system. In September of 2017 we had a national election. Everyone in New Zealand, over the age of 18, was invited to vote for who they wanted to form the next government in New Zealand. The race was really close and in the end, three different political parties (Labour, New Zealand First and the Green Party), came together to form the new government. It is called a ‘coalition government’ because it includes different people from different political parties.
Imagine that you had to form a coalition government with two other people. Who would you choose to partner with? Why?
I would form a calition with my friend, Ewan, and my other friend, Viane. Ewan would be a good partner because he is very creative with his things and kinda funny. He would always have a idea for everything. Viane would be a good partner because he is very thoughtful and he likes working with me because i'm very smart with my things.
Hi Samuel,
ReplyDeleteI think Ewan and Viane will make a algood team.
If you could pick another 2 who would it be?
(only if you want)
Great work

Hey there Sam, thanks for sharing who you would form a coalition with. It's great how you've thought about the different strengths each of your partners would bring to the coalition. What would you be able to offer to the group? What would you say is your biggest strength?
ReplyDeleteWhat would happen if you three had a disagreement?
Thanks, Billy
