nonetheless, it would further benefit from adopting both the Nordic democratic socialist model and the proportional representation electoral system. The Nordic governing system would benefit the individuals by providing them with parallel wages, universal health care, free or affordable education, public pension plans, welfare, and free trade. Next, if Canada is to adopt the proportional representation electoral system the votes will better represent

parties in the first place. With everything that is currently going on in politics, it is apparent that we as a nation need to start listening to one of our greatest founding fathers, and do away with political factions that are impeding proper representation of the American

Britain is considering changing current first past the post voting system (FPTP) to proportional representation (PR). The main reason is that FPTP is “quasi-democratic” voting system under which there is only one majority party ruling the government and it does not represent wishes of all voters as some votes are wasted. Whereas, PR seems to be the best alternative voting system with proportionality of seats in mandatory places, more parties ruling government and etc. Let us look at these two voting

women. Although this increase is seemed as substantial, the debate about the underrepresentation of women in politics has been a central topic of debate by politicians, scholars and the general public in Canada. Although it is widely agreed that representation of women in the House of Commons needs to increase, there are two

voting systems because it is the most proportional of all systems used in UK. For example in 2009 EU parliament elections Conservatives received 227.2% of the votes and won 27 seats. This suggests that Closed Party List system assures accurate representation of parties

and the electoral system. The Green Party is a minor party, and thus its representation in parliament depends on the way in which representation is gained. If for example a state has a clear two-party system, then evidently it will be almost impossible for any minor party to gain any level of representation, let alone a sizeable one. In Italy, there is a system of proportional representation, where the number of seats that a party is set to gain is directly linked to

best accomplishes all of these conditions, and could be implemented for use in the United States? There are three voting systems that this essay will cover; these are first-past-the-post (FPTP), the instant-runoff, and mixed-member proportional representation (MMP). First-past-the-post (FPTP) is the voting system that is currently used in the United States.

The first form of the national Green Party organization was founded in 1984 as a party that discussed the importance of community involvement and peoples rights. Since then, some of their ideas and opinions have changed but they still believe in the United States people 's rights

not have the majority support then they would never be able to win representation in government. Quickly, the government would end up being overtaken by a specific party. A big danger would be a political party becoming too powerful if they continue to control representation in election after election. The reigning majority could end up just becoming like a monarchy if they stay in power long enough. A proportional representation system would allow the minority groups even more of a say than they
