I Was There 1990s - The Big Event - MMP
90s - The Big Event - MMP: 1996 saw one of the biggest changes to our political system since women got the vote in 1893. Support for MMP was as mixed as its name suggests, and from the first election under the Mixed Member Proportional system in 1996, our political landscape was changed. The stranglehold over Parliament by the two main parties was gone, and how.
