经常有人声称，比例代表制（PR）会破坏政府效率，包括决策效率、财政审慎、选举反应能力和问责制。根据新西兰自1996年引入混合成员比例选举制度以来的经验，本文考察了新的投票制度对政府效率的影响。虽然政府的持久性大大降低，决策过程变得更加复杂，但在MMP下的政府似乎没有能力解决重大政策问题或应对不断变化的经济环境。此外，新西兰在MMP制度下保持了持续的财政盈余——彻底改变了过去20年多数选举制度下旷日持久、往往规模巨大的赤字。
It is often claimed that proportional representation (PR) undermines government effectiveness, including decisional efficacy, fiscal prudence, electoral responsiveness and accountability. Drawing on New Zealand's experience since the introduction of a mixed-member proportional (MMP) electoral system in 1996, this article examines the impact of the new voting system on government effectiveness. Although government durability has been substantially reduced and the policy-making process has become more complex, governments under MMP appear to be no less able to address major policy problems or respond to changing economic circumstances. Moreover, New Zealand has maintained continuous fiscal surpluses under MMP — a radical departure from the protracted, and often large, deficits that characterised the previous two decades under a majoritarian electoral system.
