MMP, or Mixed Member Proportional representation, is an electoral system that combines elements of both proportional representation and first-past-the-post voting. In this system, voters typically cast two votes: one for a candidate in their local district and another for a political party. This approach aims to balance the representation of individual constituencies with the overall proportion of votes received by each party. Countries like New Zealand and Germany have successfully implemented MMP, allowing for a more equitable representation of diverse political views. By ensuring that the overall composition of the legislature reflects the total votes cast for parties, MMP seeks to enhance democratic participation and reduce the likelihood of majority rule by a single party.
