MMP the new system for the new generation

As we know, the percentage of people voting has been decreasing over the years and this is mainly because the majority of tbe young adults don't vote. MMP was a new system that would have benefit all of us in the future. MMP would have provided more accurate results and made use of everyone's vote. MMP is the representation of democracy and it will make elections fairer as the candidate with the most votes might still get a chance even if his party loses.It would have created an assoiation between politicians from different party and make them work together more productively. Also, this system was developed by individuals not politicians. The new MMP system would definitely have been better for our society and help our future generation as well.If the old system is good then why is it that the amount of people voting decreases every time? The only reason the MMP didn't get chosen was because people weren't inform properly about it. The current government didn't advertise it properly because they were scared they might lose because of that.Since people didn't know the system very well, they didn't want to take risks and voted for the old system. As we all know, peple don't usually like change so if they are happy with the old system, they will stick with it even though the new system might be better.The MMP would have been a better system for the new generation and now we will have to wait another four years before maybe adopting this new and improved
system.
