"Another recommendation was increasing the number of MPs in Parliament from 120 to 170, and cutting Cabinet from 20 ministers to 15."
Corporatist reputation launderers the NZ SpInitiative are proposing a Cabinet that looks less like a democratic government and more like a corporate board. How unexpected. I've got a better idea.

Cabinet, like Parliament, should be proportional. If a party gets 5% of the vote, their MPs should make up 5% of Cabinet.
At the very least the leaders of all parties with at least 5% of the vote should be in Cabinet, with a relevant portfolio.
The idea of "The Opposition" is a UK import and doesn't really make sense in an MMP Parliament. What if we did policy by consensus rather than the dopey tug-of-war we inherited from Boomers and their FPP habits?
