Conspiracy of the Day

John Key wants to get rid of MMP, he has expressed his desire for SM already publicly. All the electoral systems currently offered other than MMP are quite deliberately for less proportional systems. There were in fact more proportional systems they could have offered such as open list PR which means no electorate MPs but the public has control of the lists parties put forward meaning no unpopular MPs sneaking in on the list (as seems to be people's main concern with a proportional system).

Now this teacup situation seems to have been incredibly poorly handled and puts National at risk of losing Government by losing polling to other parties. The largest winner out of all of this has been Winston Peters who has leapt on the situation and has thus managed to gain the attention of the media again in a positive light. This puts him in the running to be in Parliament and possibly hold the balance of power.

Winston is the big fear the change group has been trying to push for months despite him not looking even remotely close to entering Parliament. Could it be the teacup scenario is deliberate? In the video of the meeting we even see John Key touch the recording device, did he really not see it? Clearly the only logical explanation is that Winston Peters, John Key and Vote for Change have joined up to get Winston back in Parliament again in exchange for helping MMP to lose this referendum.
