I dont follow that as if a party needs to form a coaltion that means there is a smaller party. If we avoid that and go back to the ballot box that's essentially FPP

 

While many won't support ACT or NZF. National got barely above 1/3 of the vote, they cannot govern on that, no mandate. At least with this coalition that is over 50%. 

 

But I do follow your overall issue

 

 

 

 

Yes, as horrible as this government seems if they aren't your team, it's a far better system than FPP. If this government isn't your team, imagine how horrible it would be if it was FPP and David Seymour was PM?

 

Inevitably when people get tired of the poor and familes being helped out, they will vote them out then get tired when only the well off benefit. Perhaps Centre Left and Centre Right are not that Centre? Hipkins had a go, meeting with the business sector and he is more on the right of Labour's Centre Left theme, but that didnt go anywhere. Maybe Labour needs to push more right and National needs to push more left. Businesses cannot survive without workers and workers cannot survive without businesses, but while we can land a device on an asteroid and bring a sample home, we seemingly cannot manage businesses and workers needs, its one or tother
