Winston did a lot of unnecessary political grandstanding during this period. He had an opportunity to make history, but he ended up almost making a mockery of MMP and many of us at that time were confused by some of the skullduggery that went on; Waka jumping etc. However I still support MMP Because it works.
Go Winston Peters! Last man standing … if we had got compulsory super like Australia did when he was pushing for it we could be in a much better position than we are today.
The fact that National had more votes didn't hold sway? MMP is a crock when the losing small party chooses both the govt and the PM, despite what the voters said. Even worse, 2017, annointing the election losers. And promises rubbed out.

Is it my imagination, or do reporters sound much worse today.
They had far more integrity then, were more mature and just did a more convincing job all around.
The accent has also gotten much worse.
