Plenty of older National members have long campaigned internally for a review of MMP, I imagine their long efforts were in part responsible for the review and referendum, not just so called rich elites.
Thank you, Ben -- that was shorter, and much more polite, than my response to Steve. And for the record, back in the day I supported PR but not MMP but I lost that argument. It doesn't seem to me that the people who want to dump MMP, when you dig a little deeper, don't really have a problem with the electoral system at all -- they just don't like politicians or the political process.

Barred Brains?
...nasty little prions.
Perhaps we could privatise these prions?
...watch here as Hall & Oates deliver an impassioned plea for privatising the prison surveillance system...
from wikipedia with (my additions)
Pri(s)ons are hypothesized to infect and propagate by refolding abnormally into a structure which is able to convert normal molecules of the protein (prisoner) into the abnormally structured form.
hmmm, sounds like a recipe for penal dysfunction
...this can't end well... -
Not really.
Finding enough overlap between fairly disparate election platforms, forming a government and setting out a working timetable within 3 days is pretty good going

@jb - yeah I was more referring to the commentators running around like headless chooks etc, "it's been three days and we don't have a Government yet....arrrrrghhh!" rather than the pollies themselves. They all behaved, as one might expect, with quiet dignity.

Or possibly sleep-deprived shock, which is much the same thing. :) I have a funny feeling there are a lot of Tories and Lib-Dems who've learned the true meaning of compromise: A state of affairs that makes nobody truly happy, but everyone can more or less live with.

Happy Budget Day...
