The New Zealand parlament is the supreme legislave power. The supremecy was established in England by Bill Of Rights in 1689 and today it's a law in New Zealand. The Goverment is formed from the party or coalition with the majority of seats which means if no majority is formed a minority goverment can be formed if support from other parties is obtained through confidence votes. In 1842 the first judge of the judiciary was installed when New Zealand became a crown coloni and no longer had a jurisdiction of the New South Wales Supreme Court. The Privy Council was the final appeal in London until 2004 it was replaced with the Supreme Court of New Zealand, now New Zealand's highest court. Between 1853 and 1996 almost all parlamentary general elections were held under the first past the post system. Since 1930 this system were dominated by two political parties, National and Labour. Since 1996, a form of proportinal representation  called Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) has been used. Each person has two votes, one is for the 65 electoral seats under the MMP system. 55 seats remains and are assigned so that represantation in parlament reflects the party vote. A party needs to win one electoral seat or 5 percent of the total party vote before it is eligible for one of the 120 seats in Parliament.
