Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proportional representation is a system of voting in which seats in a legislature are allocated according to the proportion of votes received by each political party. This ensures that the make-up of the legislature reflects the diversity of views in the electorate, rather than giving 100% of the seats to one party or leaving some parties with no representation. It is commonly used in modern democracies around the world.
