Sunday, June 26th, Wellington NZ.  Flew from Rotortua to Wellington, got into hotel.  Went to national parliament buildings, got a one hour tour with about a dozen other people.  NZ has no written constitution, it's condition is precedent of prior laws.  Their voting is done twice on each ballot: the vote for the person they want to represent them in their house of representing, and the vote for the party whose policies they feel best represents what they want in government.  The Percentage of people voting for that party, get appointed representatives by that party's chair in addition to the elected representing.  And if the appointed representitives don't vote the way the chair of the party he/she can replace them anytime the chair wants.  The tour guide said that this is the model that the Allies forced Germany to have after WWll.  The mnp model.  It's purpose is to prevent any one party from gaining control of the Parliament like the Nazi party did in the thirties, but it's not working as intended in NZ, because one party has control of the Parliament today.  Good tour, fantastic government building for prime minister and his cabinet, the beehive, which is just what it looks like, a beehive. Had a venison burger, really good.
