quite severely it seems.

the MMP system in NZ serves a proxy upper house i feel.
i.e party votes become a pseudo upper house.

whereas the Aus. Senate is elected by the mob.

nice thought piece, but please try harder.
someone might think this is well though out deduction on democratic stability in climate of democratic dissonance.
