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.
Below is the link to the seating plan of the Debating Chamber.

Kia ora Lucky my name is Breeze and I am a year 7 student in Te Ngahere who attends Paihia School. I chose to comment on your blog post about mixed member proportional because the title was catchy and I thought it would have interesting facts and descriptive words in it about parliament. I like how you added a picture of the seating plan for the debating chamber, I also like how you explained two sides of the parliament.Who who you vote for if you got to vote? I enjoyed reading your blog post and I hope you choose to blog post more. Keep up the good work.
Ka kite!
