The threshold

Now that MMP is confirmed, attention will turn to how can one improve MMP. A big issue before the election result was whether the should include gaining an electorate, or just be the 5% party vote. A related issue is should the 5% threshold be lowered or increased.

It is worth noting that not a single MP entered through the electorate seat threshold. The only List MPs are with , , and – who all made 5%. I suspect result will take some of the sting out of the issue.
