Should the number of elected representatives be reduced?

The power flags and uppsid by the Ireland and up videos repeated hearing of government kiwis knows it's

Yes, and shift New Zealand further from a representative democracy and closer to a direct democracy.

No, some people want coalitions

Yes and stop their parliamentary perks when they retire from politics

I like electorate representatives with some list MPs to make up to reflect population demographics.

No opinion on this matter.

No. But when they finish being an elected representative they should no longer receive any more money or perks and should get a job like we have to do if our current employment ends.

Yes but through introducing Single Transferrable Voting (STV)

Reduce retirement payments

Yes, but make the opposition party more heard -- almost half the population voted for them after all. Instead of having a large number of people who can't say much, have a small number that represents everyone across the board and let them all have a proper say.

Don't really understand the question

No but remove retirement benefits, like travel

increase salaries up front, reduce some and stop other retirement benefits

No increase the number of list MPs

Yes, make transparent the fixed salaries and benefits, and reduce their salaries and retirement benefits from current status/ policy.

Yes, and align their salaries with senior Educators, Police and Health Providers

Add more electorates and reduce the number of list MP’s who are not directly responsible to an area of people

No, increase the number of elected representatives instead

No opinion really

Reduce the numbers, pay them for performance, reduce their retirement benefits

Reduce the number of list MP's.

I believe all parties should equally rule but not make decisions without public agreement on critical decisions

yes and reduce their retirement benefits to kiwisaver contributions only. This shouldn’t be a job for life.

No, there should be more representatives.

List mp’s have no mandate from the voters. They should have responsibilities supporting elected representatives and as they have no electorate responsibilities there remuneration should be set at 50% of an elected member

Yes cause why not

Retriever by retirement by working and on the benefits burt more. Never the trust telephone calling by recruiting use emcomics with not earning is not credits nevet less Increase or justice of peace decrease however rivets can get worse

No, but reduce their salaries and retirement benefits and have a psychologist monitor their health

No, increase the number of representatives.

Potentially. I'd have each Provence elect a representative to the national level (more UN style), but then have our local government set up be closer to our current national level structure.

yess create more Maori representitives

No, increase them.

No, it should be increased to give a broader representation

No there should be more

No increase

Yes, but also reduce the mmp threshold to 2.5% to increase diversity of parties

Yes, but reduce the mmp threshold to 2.5%

No it shouldn't be reduced, but it shouldn't be increased either

Yes but increase salaries to attract best candidate and reduce retirement benefits

No, but reduce retirement benefits

I'm am unsure either way

Ill informed

No, I am against democracy

Not necessarily reduced, but splitting seats based on electorate and party vote

I think its fine the way it is

No, but add term limits and caps on future earnings.

No, the number of elected representatives should be increased to enable ministers to focus on more specialised portfolios, spread the political power between a larger number of representatives, and reduce the incentive for ministers to take extra portfolios they are less qualified or interested in

No, but increase their salaries to attract the best politicians

Far too many politicians for 5 million people. Reduce retirement perks If crimes committed no perks Means tested

I don't understand enough about this topic and therefore don't have an opinion.

The government should be abolished

don't mind

idk what that means so ?

maybe not decreased but i do think representatives shouldn't be effected by any of the laws that are passed for the would easily create bias.

don’t know

Neither here nor there

No, but put a hold on the pay rises for 3-5 years with no more than inflation rate increases after that time. and also make them properly accountable for blatant incompetency

There should be more

Can the List seats and make MPs win an electorate seat

Abolish Democracy

aren't bothered

Happy with it as is

No, it’s fine how it is.
