MMP stands for "Mixed Member Proportional". It's the type of electoral system we use to elect our parliament in New Zealand. Basically it's called "Mixed Member" because there are two kinds of MPs - list MPs and electorate MPs. The "proportional" bit relates to how these seats are allocated. If a party wins 50% of the party votes, it gets 50% of the seats in parliament. There are 120 seats in parliament so 50% of the vote would equate to 60 seats. If the party wins 40 electorate seats, they will get 20 list seats to make up the proportion of seas they're entitled to.
