Occasionally interesting, but these moments become increasingly few and far between. Their arguments against MMP are quite shallow and lacking in substance. In one breath a party's contradiction between their votes and seats attained is explained on their support being too centralized. However in the next we are told another party deserved to not have their votes translated into seats as they need to centralize their votes more. The data are of shifting concern to the writer, not from their value to a coherent argument but for their convenience. His "rebuttal" of the likes of Sir Geoffrey Palmer and other academics is even more lackluster. All in all this book reminds me of a quote by anthropologist Kroeber concerning those who are more interesting in having a picnic than doing real work.
