GINNY ANDERSEN: Whether I be a list MP or whether a member of this Parliament be an electorate MP, it is important that they are held accountable to those people who voted them into this House in the first place. It is of vital importance that the public have confidence in our democracy, and they should know that when a vote is placed on a party, that is the principles and the ideology and the values that their vote is going towards, and that is exactly what the primary legislation that this bill attempts to unpick did achieve. That means that if someone has got into Parliament on the basis of free education, of housing that's warm, dry, and affordable, of the fact that people get paid a living wage, on those basic principles—if that is the ticket and the understanding and the principles that you entered Parliament on, then that member of Parliament should be held to account to those same principles on which they were voted in upon. Now, that, I believe, is not a travesty of democracy; that is in fact really sticking to the point in which the underpinning principles of which MMP delivers upon.
