	Politics of New Zealand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		New Zealand has no formal, written constitution; the constitutional framework consists of a mixture of various documents (including certain acts of the United Kingdom and New Zealand Parliaments), the Treaty of Waitangi and constitutional conventions.
		The New Zealand monarchy has been distinct from the British monarchy since the New Zealand Royal Titles Act of 1953, and all Elizabeth II's official business in New Zealand is conducted in the name of the Queen of New Zealand, not the Queen of the United Kingdom.
		New Zealand is a unitary state rather than a federation — regions are created by the authority of the central government, rather than the central government being created by the authority of the regions.

	Eunuch Archive Message Boards - New Zealand general election on 17 September 2005
		New Zealand's unicameral Parliament of 120 MPs is elected by proportional representation, like those of continental Europe.
		To qualify for representation, a party has to either win 5% or more of the party vote (this threshhold is to discourage fragmentation of political parties), or else win at least one geographical constituency seat.
		I expect to to be tied up in political activities here in New Zealand for much of the time until the election, especially the last 4 weeks, supporting the Green Party.

	Confundo -> Election 2005: New Zealand (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The New Zealand case is a favourite of mine, because in 1996 they abandonned the Single Member Plurality voting system (currently used in Canada, the US, Britain, Australia, India, etc.) and switched to the Mixed Member Proportional* system (used in Germany).
		While support for smaller parties tends to increase as the election draws nearer, there's also the fear that they may appear so hopeless that many voters who do hope for a right-of-centre coalition will abandon them for the National party out of fear of wasting their vote.
		Another possibility is that New Zealand First, which apparently is polling better than it has in eight years, may do so well that it and National may be able to govern without support from anyone else, as they did after 1996.
