1970 rhodesian general election
until 1994, new zealand used the first-past-the-post (ffp) electoral system whereby whichever political party won the most seats on election day became the government. this process favours two party systems and for the last 60 years, new zealand elections have been dominated by the national party and labour party. smaller parties found it hard to gain representation; despite the new zealand social credit party gaining 16% of the vote in 1978 and 21% in 1981 they only won one and two seats respectively. spurred by public disillusionment in the political system, labour campaigned in 1981 and 1984 on a promise to establish a royal commission into the electoral system. following their election into government in 1984, labour established the royal commission into the electoral system, and the commission's 1986 report recommended the adoption of mixed-member proportional representation (mmp). after the government sidelining the issue for years, the bolger national government responded to public pressure by holding an indicative referendum on the electoral system in 1992. after an overwhelming majority for change, a second, binding referendum was held in 1993 asking voters to choose between ffp and mmp. in 1994, new zealand officially adopted mmp as its electoral system. its defining characteristic is a mix of members of parliament (mps) from single-seat electorates and mps elected from a party list, with each party's share of seats determined by its share of the party vote nationwide. the first mmp election was held in 1996. as a result, national and labour lost their complete dominance in the house. neither party has yet been able to govern on its own and has had to form coalitions to govern. the closest either party has come to governing alone was the 2014 election, when national won 60 seats, just 1 short of a majority.
