Are our MPs too inefficient?
The global average ratio of population to parliamentarians is roughly 146,000 inhabitants per member of parliament (http://archive.ipu.org/gpr-e/media/index.htm) NZ with a population of around 5.3 million with 120MPs means roughly 44,000 inhabitants per MP. Surely it needs to be cut down to reduce inefficiency and save costs
