      As opposed to FPTP, gerrymandering, multi-layer representative cutoffs, regional vote weight balancing, or the D’Hondt method?

      What’s your basis to think that?

          I’m not USA-n either, so only most of those apply to the flavor of “democracy” I get. It’s still a good exercise to know about the options.

          Indeed. I highly encourage everyone to learn about how “democratic” they actually are.

              I highly encourage everyone to learn…

              My wish is to improve the knowledge of the reader and anyone else…

              …about how “democratic” they actually are.

              …about the different political systems which get called “democracies” by different countries around the world, and how their practical applications differ from the idealized concept of “democracy”.
