> How would that work with representative democracy?
With PR there would be a larger number of viable parties, for example in the last Dutch election, 13 parties got elected.

With 13 parties you'd probably be able to find one which is reasonably close to your own views.
- tshaddox 6y agoHaving a larger number of viable parties doesn’t seem like it would help that much when your district is huge and gets one representative elected with FPTP.
- cabalamat 6y agoThis wouldn't happen, because districts would be multi-member. For extra proportionality, have top-up seats (as used in Germany or Scotland).
