Under a proportional representation system, the Social Democrats would still receive representation in proportion to their votes, even if they only receive five percent of the vote. In single-member districts and multi-member districts, they would have little to no representation with such a low percentage of votes. A mixed-member system may offer them some representation through proportional allocation of seats, but it ultimately depends on the specific structure of the system.
