Good news from Aotearoa/New Zealand. Despite their Government coalition partner losing control, the Green Party(with 6.4% of the vote) has increased its tally of seats from 6 to 8, all onthe top-up list part of the ballot, and is the third-largest party in theparliament. PR was introduced there in 1996.
They must be too busy celebrating to update their website accordingly, butfor those interested in the campaign, see http://www.greens.org.nz/front
The official breakdown of the results is here: http://www.electionresults.govt.nz/partystatus.html
'How to be green? Many people have asked us this important question. It's really very simple and requires no expert knowledge or complex skills. Here's the answer. Consume less. Share more. Enjoy life.' Penny Kemp and Derek Wall
