C) Because the system does not focus on individual candidates, party leaders put people on their lists that might not win popular support if elections were centered on the appeal of individual candidates.
D) Multiparty competition is encouraged because the double-ballot system allows voters to split their vote, thus allowing even smaller parties the chance to obtain executive office.
E) Parties are unlikely to engage in civil electioneering because the system distributes seats proportionally, thus encouraging parties to win as many as possible.
