Abstract
|
Some system of proportional representation should be
adopted to deal with the main problems with the current
system. These are the problems of wasted votes and
strategic voting. [1 page]

I am becoming quite comfortable with the MMP
system but I have two comments:
-
Could you explain clearly whether (a) the list seats alone would
be distributed according to the proportion of the parties' share of
the vote for the list seats [this is MMM] or (b) the
list seats would be assigned so that the combined riding and list
seats are distributed according to proportion of the parties' vote
for the list seats [this is MMP].
-
I could support another system as well -- as long as the main
problem with the current system is addressed. That is the problem
of wasted votes and strategic voting. I think strategic voting of
your primary vote is quite undemocratic.
Thanks.
