New Zealand 1999 Election

67 Districts (Electorates)

Total       1,860,883

W/T              47.90 Percent

Low District (66)           11,666
Ratio                                  2.98

High Winner (31)              20,603
Low Winner (66)                5,779

41 of the 67 district winners got less than 50 percent of the votes in their 
districts.

Thus, the extremist plurality (FPTP) district winners continue to have a 
substantial effect on lawmaking (especially those in the party or parties 
making up the executive part of the government) notwithstanding the addition 
of the 53 MMP party list p.r. seats.
