MMP as Mount Doom

David Farrar points to a caption competition being run by Peter Shirtcliffe as part of the futile campaign to rustle up opposition to MMP. Although the bottle of champagne prize is quite tempting, I won't be submitting this entry:

And besides, I thought Internal Affairs changed the rules a few years ago banning liquor as a prize. A silly prohibition that only the Law Commission could love, but one a parochial conformist such as Shirtcliffe is duty-bound to obey.

The sooner we find a better system to MMP the better. I am a little sick of having small parties run the roost and people in parliament without having to front up to an electorate.

An alcohol prize is only illegal for gambling. This contest isn't gambling, since Shirtcliffe will judge the winner, rather than randomly selecting.
