Mixed Member Proportional (MMP)

MMP is the system we use now to elect our Parliament. Each voter gets two votes. The first vote is for the political party the voter chooses. This is called the party vote. The second vote is to choose the MP the voter wants to represent the electorate they live in.

This system has also been used in Germany for over sixty years. MMP is also used in the UK but they call it AMS which stand for Additional member system . The Electorate MPs are elected using the First Past the Post voting system (FPP). The person who gets the most votes wins. The winning person does not have to get more than half the votes to win.

Army Dialogue

"GET TO THE LEFT SIDE HIGHBALL!!!" I shouted.
"I CAN'T SLUGGER, WE NEED TO GET BEHIND COVER!!!!!" Screamed my friend Storm.
"Ok, now what we have to do is take out the left group of men and the right group of men."
"If we can get you behind that tree, you will have a perfect line up with your Sniper Riffle."
"And you can stay here and wait for me to take down the group of men on the right, we can move to where they were and take out the group of men on the left."
"When do you want me to attack sir?"
"NOW!!!!"
"If I go now I am going to get shot the second I leave this spot."
 "I don't care!!! don't you want to die fighting or die whimpering in a corner waiting for someone else to do the job for you!!"
"At this point I have no clue what I want to do."
"Well I do, so get your butt in the field and defend your country !"
"Fine just cause you said it so nicely."

Story Writing Two

Why was I dumb enough to get on the wrong plane. I am now In India, I'm sorry I have no clue where I am in India because I can not speak their language. I have been here for about two hours now and I have just sat on a chair looking out at the view for about ten minutes now and the rest of the time before I was rushing around the airport trying to find someone who spoke english, there was no one who did unfortunately. Luckily I had my little brother finn with me who was thirteen, his friend who was twelve and me I'm eighteen. My brother and his friend are getting worried, I am even getting worried but i have to keep a cool mind for the two guys. I looked in my bag to see if the lady at the flight infomation centre could read and get me on the correct flight but as I searched through my bag I realised that I lost my passport.

The good thing is is that Finn and his friend Bob did not lose their passports so we aventually got an english person who could speak their language arrived from a flight and he was willing to help us. So in about an hour later we were on the correct flight and we were heading back to Japan.

Story Writing

My name is Lurk and I have been on this horrible pile of water and dirt known as Earth for too long, specifically fourteen days. Stupid ship ran out of fuel while I was on way to the milky way for a milk shake. I do have my two best friends here though, their names are Groom and Starlight. Groom Is a male and Starlight is female, and just if you are wondering I am a male too. We have been in my ship the entire fourteen days and we have been living on the life supplies in the back of the ship. Unfortunately we ran out of supplies today and we have to leave the ship and go outside to see if there is anything we can kill find or contain a form of food or drink.

Before we exit the ship I check the scanners on the ships control pannel to check if the planet has an atmosphere that provides oxygen. I was glad to find that the planet does supply oxygen and told Groom and Starlight that we could leave but we could only go a couple of crumblenaughts from the ship which on Earth they call them kms. As we open the main hatch to leave the ship Starlight starts to cry.

"Whats wrong, are you ok?" Groom says to try and comfort her because he has liked her four years.

I think we got about one crumblenaught from the ship when I saw a slight flash in the distance. Groom turned to see what it was while Starlight hit behind a nearby rock. Groom then grabbed my head and forced me to look in the direction of the flash and I was more shocked then I have ever been before when I saw a....

HUMAN!!!! I have read about them and researched them at school and stuff but I have never seen one in real life. It was wearing somekind of baggey material on it's upper body and the same but tight different kind of material that fully covered it's lower body. Groom started to run back to the ship but stopped a second later ran to the rock that Starlight was hiding behind, grabbed her hand and dragged her across the ground back in the direction of the ship. I stood there staring at the human for about five seconds before I started to trail behind Groom and Starlight back to the ship.

"I think we lost the human," I claimed speaking with no breath as we had just run more than I would have wanted.

"Groom thank you for saving me back there," Starlight said in a soft voice to Groom.

"It was nothing."
