The demise of the last Westminster system?: Comments on the Report of New Zealand's Royal Commission on the Electoral System

In: Electoral studies: an international journal, Band 6, Heft 2, S. 97-103

Abstract

The New Zealand government set up a Royal Commission to consider the country's electoral system. It produced an unexpectedly radical Report, challenging some of the basic assumptions of the Westminster system under which New Zealand has been governed for 100 years. This article considers the wider implications of the Report. (IPSA, abridged/DÜI)
