@absGeekNZ, that very first sentence is sooo wrong.
Splitting and dividing can be seen as favoring FPTP because that's what it'll in effect create again.
(It lowers the threshold for the bigger parties to get in, even if it means holding hands with the devil - as in present coalition).

It's not wrong, in the current political climate. A Lab/ACT or Nat/Grn coalition is extremely unlikely.

What fee currently have is very FPTP like.

Without parties that will work both sides; MMP seems to devolve into FPTP. TPM did in the past, but also refuse to work with ACT (for good reason); but it limits options for progress.
