This letter was sent to the NZ Herald on May 5th:
Dear Editor
Can someone please tell letter writer "J Kent of Onerahi" that Hone Harawera was elected by First Past the Post in a local electorate and his election has nothing do with MMP? He wasn't elected as a list MP or by the party vote. Under First Past the Post he would still be right where he is. After 15 years of MMP the apparent ignorance and muddled thinking shown by some MMP critics in your letter columns to date is fascinating to behold.
