Mixed Member Proportional

There are 120 seats in total in Parliament, There are also two sides of Parliament and the two sides are Sovereign and the House Of Representatives. Democracy is the system where people 18 and over are allowed to vote for prime ministers and MPs. Mixed-member proportional (MMP), Seen in New Zealand from 1996 onward, is a proportional system where each voter has two votes. One of these is for the candidate in their electorate and one is for the overall political party.

My Lockdown Experience

I thought Lockdown was very boring especially because I had spent too much time with my family and it was quite overbearing, What kept me sane was the work the teachers sent the students to maintain and improve our grades. I finally came to school today after begging my mum for 4 days, I missed playing volleyball with my friends and getting my grades up, and that was why I couldn't wait to go to school.
