What a 7th Labour Government could look like
Now Labour have done a reshuffle, I thought it would be timely to look at what the ministry could look like under a Labour-Greens-Te Pati Maori Government.
Rather than be subjective, I have followed three rules:
- The number of Ministers for each party is proportional to their share of the vote
- The rank in the ministry follows the st lague formula to allocate seats proportionally
- The portfolio they are allocated is the most significant one they currently have. If someone from another party is ranked higher and has that portfolio, then they get the next most significant.
The one exception is that I have Edmonds having Finance as that traditionally goes to the largest party.
It would certainly be a very interesting Government!
