Yes, #ProportionalRepresentation requires multi-winner districts in order to allocate the result proportionally, so it'd be for Congress.

To solve the spoiler effect that disadvantages third parties in presidential races, you could use #RCV, STAR, Approval, Round Robin RCV, Fusion, etc.

Contrast that with the US where the largest minority party has unchecked power.

Parliamentary* #ProportionalRepresentation systems can take a while to get things done, but at least what they do has broad support of the voters.

* PR in presidentialism doesn't require a governing coalition.

Consider voting for the Green Party reps. B.C. Voters. We need a better system for all. And a coalition government means better governance because the Folks need to communicate and compromise to move forward for all benefits. #BC #voters #green #emilylowan #pr #proportionalrepresentation #elections

A party wins 40% of the vote. They deserve:

A) all of the power
B) none of the power
C) a 40% share of the power

Perhaps one reason those preferences aren't reflected in the governments we get is our voting system.
Once again I'm reminded that Labour failed to give us #PR when they'd promised to do so.
Now, with the majority in Westminster, they have an opportunity to introduce #ProportionalRepresentation

One of the misunderstandings of those favouring #ProportionalRepresentation is that power in the legislature is proportional to the number of seats each party holds, and thus a legislature with PR would be more likely to do what the public wants. In fact, relative power is more complicated. Let […]
