In New Zealand the government uses MMP to decide the government and electorate MP's.
The Electorate MP's are the ones who represent people of a certain area. The List MP's are the MP's that are added in so that all the seats the party has will be full.
eg. if a party got 70 seats in the government and out of those 70, 40 were electorates then 30 list MP's will be present.

What is MMP and why is it used in new zealand elections?
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.
