    As someone from Lithuania, you have no idea how crazy our politics can get and how heavily our democracy relies on a rule that a party, in order to get into the parliament, must get at least 5% of the total votes.

    (Being pedantic here) A couple US states technically use proportional representation in the apportionment of electors in a presidential election (Nebraska and Maine), although it’s of course dubious if an elector actually counts as a representative, given how ephemeral they are.
