I should make a couple of comments about things that weren't in the Speech from the Throne, and I hope that omission was deliberate. The proposed naked power grab where a party that wins a seat would not get its full representation, where Debbie Ngarewa-Packer would not resume a seat in this House because her party didn't make the 5 percent threshold. That is naked, partisan, and disgraceful. The only time electoral laws should change is if there is a genuine public problem to be solved. To take away full representation for parties that win a seat just because of a threshold is undemocratic and an affront to those who voted for a particular party.
