13、onbut it is actually an intricate process that can take many different forms on which everyone from mathematicians to political scholars, interest groups, politicians and voters often have divergent opinions. Two of the most popular of these voting systems are known as First-Past-the-Post (FPP) and
14、Mixed-Member Proportional (MMP), and they have quite different features. FPP is one of the simplest voting systems. Voters select one person from a list of candidates in their electorate, and the candidate with the highest number of votes is elected to represent them. While this might sound simple a
15、nd fair, it can have several undesirable effects. Firstly, because of the “all or nothing“ result, FPP produces a large number of wasted votesvotes which do not affect the outcome of the election. This is the case in the majority of electorates, which are safe or relatively safe. Consequently, the p
16、arty that gains the highest number of seats in Parliament may not actually gain the most votesin the 2005 UK elections, for example, the Labour party governed alone with only 35 percent of the vote. Because of the pressure on voters not to “waste“ their vote, FPP tends to foster tactical voting for
17、a rival but less popular candidate, thus sidelining minority voices and third party candidacies in favour of a race between two, often similar, contestants. MMP attempts to create a parliament that represents a national consensus, rather than combining the results from dozens of local “mini-election
18、s“. Voters select their electorate candidate, as in FPP, but they also select a party, which will gain seats in Parliament proportionate to the party vote. This opens the door for representation amongst parties that may have broad support nationally, but not enough support in any single geographical
19、 area to win an electorate seat. While Parliament as a whole may be more representative, however, the ability to affect change within parliament can often accrue to a centrist, smaller party that has the ability to essentially choose the government, by selecting between the major parties as coalitio
20、n partners. This phenomenon is known as the “tail wagging the dog“. Finally, the party vote tends to bring in Members of Parliament (MPs) in an order that is chosen, not by the electorate, but by the party itself. This is one of MMP“s undemocratic moves that favours party establishment and hierarchy
21、 over the will of the public. New Zealand“s transition from FPP to MMP demonstrates the benefits and drawbacks of each system. In the 1970s, many New Zealanders grew disillusioned with the two-party system. FPP did not provide voters with another viable option; however, the leading third party recei
22、ved a considerable 16 percent of the vote in 1978 but gained only one of the 92 seats in parliamentthree years later their vote share was up to 21 percent, but they gained only two seats. A Royal Commission subsequently recommended a shift to MMP, and in 1993 a state-wide referendum was held that pa
23、ssed in favour of the reform. The 1996 elections wore away much public enthusiasm for MMP, however. The result was indecisive, and with neither major party able to govern alone, the power to form a coalition rested upon a third party, New Zealand First. Instead of forming a coalition with Laboura pa
24、rty that many voters considered to be its natural allythe New Zealand First party sided with the National party. This was followed by a subsequent rise in party-hoppingMembers of Parliament (MPs) leaving the parties from which they were elected. Eventually, the coalition disbanded with Prime Ministe
25、r Jenny Shipley sacking New Zealand First leader, Winston Peters, from Cabinet. Nevertheless, after these initial teething problems, New Zealand voters and politicians have grown accustomed to MMP and learnt to focus on its possibilities rather than its hindrances. One of the most notable benefits i
26、s that Parliament has become far more representative of the diversity in modern New Zealand society. MMP introduced a number of MPs who had previously been marginalised from mainstream politics: women, people from diverse ethnic backgrounds, and community activists. Relationships between major and m
27、inor parties have also grown more stable, and in many ways minor parties now function as auditors keeping a check on the major parties. MMP is not without its flaws, but the transition has generally been a positive experience.（分数：6.50）(1).Do the following statements agree with the information given

31、ur answer sheet. Public dissatisfaction with elections came about as a result of the _7_ in New Zealand, and many people voted for a _8_ instead. However, the parliamentary representation was disproportionate to the number of votes received and, after investigation, this situation eventually led to
32、a national _9_ which asked the people to express their preference for a particular electoral system. The first experience was messy, however: _10_ ensued after the New Zealand First party decided to go into _11_ with National instead of the Labour party. New Zealanders have since become used to MMP,
