Our past has bequeathed us a franchise. Our future will be determined by it. And we have two choices tomorrow. We can choose who we vote for and also how we vote. There's a range of views on this matter. Mr Goff favours MMP, Mr Key prefers SM. Others want Preferential Voting. Some hanker for FPP. Putting aside the merits of each, there is another, even more important issue. Our control of the process.
Unless we vote for change, the politicians will decide how they are elected. They may tinker with MMP or change it radically. The choice will be theirs, not ours. A vote for change will ensure a second referendum, with MMP tested against one of the alternatives. It means we will control the evolution of our peaceful democracy. Let the politicians address the economy. But the elections belong to us!
Hopkins is quite right; only a vote against MMP will give us, the voters, the say as to how future elections are decided. Vote for Change.

The usual pretentious drivel from the tiny minded poseur Hopkins.
He's right about the change though.
Not that you'd know that from anything National/ John Key have ever said.
As usual, too yellow to take a stand.
Redbaiter you seem to have the same ability to ignore the truth that our friend Winston First does. John Key has repeatedly said that he wants to ditch MMP & replace it with Supplementary Member.
Phil Goff is depending on MMP to drag in enough left of centre parties to form a rag tag government. He may well succeed if National voters are complacent.
The 1996 fiasco created by Winston First should be taught to all 16,17 & 18 year olds.
Quite so Sir Loin; as recently as yesterday, Key again confirmed that he is voting for change, and will vote for SM. Redbaiter of course knows that, but he's never been one to let the facts get in the way of a good smear.
C'mon.
National has deliberately kept the issue low profile.
Never even mentioning the referendum for most of the campaign.
And Key has only made any comments on the issue because he had to. The embarrasment was getting too much.
Socialism will win 2moro.
I am disgusted to be kiwi born!!!
God HELP nz.
