Abstract
On 3 April this year, the people of Solomon Islands will go
to the polls to elect their representatives in the national
parliament for the next four years. The term ‘representatives’ is
used loosely here as the typical member of parliament (MP) is
elected with just over a third of the votes, meaning the majority
of the electors did not in fact choose the winning candidate
to represent them. This will be the tenth election since 1978
when the country gained full independence from the United
Kingdom.
