Title:       MMP review: what are the issues and what are the options?
Date:        Monday, 26 Mar 2012
Time:        4:00 pm
Location:    Room 6115, Owen Glenn Building

In this talk I will outline the issues under consideration in the current review of the MMP voting system and outline the major options that can be chosen. I will try to explain the rational and major trade-offs made in the design of hybrid systems like MMP. From this point we will start a discussion on particular issues. This will hopefully start the process of preparation of a submission to the Electoral Commission on behalf of the Centre.
