What is List PR?
Think of Mixed Member Proportional (MMP), but with only party lists, and no local representatives.
Ah, thanks. So there's no need to double the number of seats on the council?
Also, upvote for CGP Grey.
Technically, MMP does not at all require a change in the number of seats.
The doubling of seats is only used to aid in explanation.
How is proportionality attained without additional seats? No local representatives?
An example, which I am not advocating for, is lowering the number of regional seats, and converting them into party list seats. This way, the number of seats remains the same.
Ah, I see, that would work too.
