This law that is being challenged today would be unconscionable in the mother of all Parliaments in the United Kingdom. It would never have even got off first base. MMP was founded in Germany; it would breach the constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany should anybody pass such an offensive law. As my colleague David Carter from the Inter-Parliamentary Union said, this law puts New Zealand in the company of Draconian authoritarian States like Zimbabwe or like Venezuela, which not a member of the New Zealand public or member of this House would want to associate ourselves with. It was a further disgrace that this law was the product of simple leveraging from the coalition negotiations. Actually, our electoral law needs greater protection than simply being a plaything of negotiations. Our electoral law, in my view, needs to have greater entrenchment to stop those sorts of rorts.
