How MMP changed politics

New Zealand’s MMP voting system promised fairness and diversity —
but has it delivered? In this episode of Context, Guyon Espiner
and Corin Dann look back at how MMP came to be, from a slip-up by
David Lange in the 1980s to Winston Peters’ rise as kingmaker,
and now Christopher Luxon’s challenge of managing a three-party
government.
