Nice, simple example given on how wards work. Soooo much misinformation will be put out by the racists though.

Imagine there were no electorates in Aotearoa and Aucklanders always took a whopping majority of parliamentary seats. Popular Auckland candidates beat candidates from every other individual city, town and province in the country. (Don’t worry, Auckland is super cool ‒ we're just spit-balling here.)
Any attempt to create electorates for non-Aucklanders is put to a public vote ‒ where Aucklanders can also outvote everyone. If Wellington wants an electorate, Aucklanders hold the majority vote. If Christchurch wants an electorate, Aucklanders vote on it. Invercargill, etc. Even if Aucklander MPs agree to electorates, they can be reversed. For the sake of the nation as a whole, in this hypothetical, it might be good for Auckland to cede some representation. But the decision is theirs.
