Kids voting 2020

 Today we have been learning both about graphs and elections.What I enjoyed about this blog is that you get to learn new things and afterwards you get to share what you created. 

    There was a party called Labor.The party is most likely to be popular and prime minister of New Zealand compared to the other parties it will win.,  

    There is a packet of sour patch kids on the table.Everyone wants the red,yummy and sour patch kids.As you can see from the bar graph that the red sour patch kid is most likely to be eaten just like the one on top except that it is planted.What I am trying to say is that Labor is most likely to become prime minister. 

Are you ready to vote for election?

What is MMP?

Today Room 7 is learning about MMP.What I enjoyed about writing this was learning at the same time.

    MMP stands for Mixed Member Proportional.Mixed Member Proportional is the voting system that New Zealand uses.

    Usually there are 120 members of Parliament also known as (MP's).Did you know there are actually 72 electorates including seven other Maori electorates.

    Every area chooses one Member of Parliament to represent them in Parliament,which is called Electorate MP.

    Each person that is voting has 2 votes.One of the votes are the electoral vote and the other is a party vote.Did you know that you have to be 18 and over to be able to vote.

    The first vote is for the political party.This means that the total of number of seats each political party gets in Parliament.

    The Electoral vote is to choose the person to represent their local area.The nominee who gets the most votes wins.They do not need to get more than half the votes.

    If a political party get at least 5% of the votes they get to share the seats of Parliament.

    Parties with a bigger share of the party vote will get the more seats in Parliament.The amount of seats each party gets is proportional to the amount of party votes the party gets.

    So if the party wins 20 electorate seats it will have 16 list MP's in to it's 20 electorate MP's.
