#proportional — Public Fediverse posts

https://theconversation.com/the-scottish-electoral-system-has-delivered-its-most-disproportional-result-yet-284007. It's clear the #AMS system is a very imperfect system of #proportional #representation - #PR - producing #disproportional #results, as John Curtice notes, @ScottishGreens. #STV in multi-member constituencies, as used for the #Northern #Ireland #Assembly #elections, & for the Dáil Éireann in the #Irish #Republic, is preferable, & is certainly preferable to the #closed #Party #list system in multi-member constituencies now in use for the #Welsh #Senedd.

This is a #proportional #representation #Election, using a closed Party List system for the 16 constituencies, each with 6 members (total = 96). Voters are, unfortunately, not being given the chance to express a preference between candidates, & nor can they express a preference between Parties.

“... Several things stand out:
1) the massive flow of the mighty Mississippi and Columbia River systems
2) the paucity of major rivers in the western US, especially the southwestern US, where the only major rivers are the seriously over-tapped Colorado and Rio Grande Rivers
3) the local importance of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Rivers in California, which serve the state’s cities and agricultural regions…”

A #strong #democracy and trusted #electoral #system are foundational requirements for progress on any number of issues.

Donors who haven’t funded in this area, or see democracy issues as outside their interests, should
❇️ take a wider view of how to advance their values.

Donors who already support work on voting and elections should
❇️ consider ramping up their giving during this period of growing threats to U.S. democracy

⭐️Where to Donate for Voting Rights and Democracy

♦️♦️Organizations focused on protecting and strengthening electoral systems.

Donors must first and foremost invest in shoring up the democratic system in the short term.

This means supporting #legal #efforts to
👉push back on unfounded claims of fraud as well as
👉challenging unfair election laws.

Funding for this strategy should also go to groups focused on
👉making voting easier and more accessible,
advocating for policies like
👉expanded early voting,
👉automatic and same day registration, and the
👉repeal of felony disenfranchisement laws.

On the legal side, donors can support the
🔹Brennan Center for Justice, https://www.brennancenter.org/
🔹NAACP Legal Defense Fund, https://naacpldf.org/
🔹Demos https://www.demos.org/
🔹and Campaign Legal Center https://campaignlegal.org/

All four groups engage in #litigation, #research and #policy advocacy.

♦️♦️Organizing for a more expansive and inclusive democracy.

🆘 Low-income people, communities of color and young people participate in elections and civic life at lower levels than the general public.

✅ To create a more representative democracy and advance progressive change, donors should invest in organizations that work to engage these voters.

Groups like
🔹Community Change https://www.communitychange.org/
🔹and Center for Popular Democracy https://www.populardemocracy.org/

both work with and support #grassroots groups and leaders throughout the country,
with a focus on #working #class #communities of #color.

Donors can also support the
🔹Voter Participation Center and its c4 arm,
the 🔹Center for Voter Information, https://www.centerforvoterinformation.org/

which work to increase turnout among “#new #American #majority” voters,

as well as support groups focused on #young #voters,
such as
🔹NextGen America https://nextgenamerica.org/
and
🔹TurnUp https://www.turnup.us/

♦️♦️Groups advocating for democratic reforms.

A range of reforms can help create a democracy that is more responsive,
offering voters more choices and fostering fairer outcomes as well as increased trust in our electoral system.

Donors can support
🔹FairVote, https://fairvote.org/

which advocates for #ranked #choice voting and #proportional #representation,
and has already had some success at the state and local levels;
and
🔹Unite America, https://www.uniteamerica.org/
which focuses on #independent #redistricting, #primary #reform,
as well as #instant #runoff voting.

The Academy Award nominations will be voted on tomorrow (1-23 = RCV Day) using #proportional

3. #Parteien haben anderweitig definierte (höhere) #Sitzansprüche, etwa wegen gewonnenen #Wahlkreise⁠n. Man kann dann für jede davon einen #Divisor berechnen, mit dem der jeweilige #Sitzanspruch rauskommt. Damit es #proportional wird, muss man den niedrigsten davon nehmen. In dem Fall gibts noch etwas #Spielraum, wie man den Divisor genau berechnet. Jenachdem, welchen #Rundungsvorteil man dabei unterstellt, werden #Ausgleichsmandate etwas mehr oder weniger großzügig verteilt. [5/6]

#SainteLaguë verwendet z. ⁠B. kaufmännische #Standardrundung, #DHondt #Abrundung. Gleichwertig mit dem #Divisor ist ein #Faktor (der #Kehrwert des Divisors), mit dem man multipliziert. So bleibt bis auf die #Rundung alles #proportional. Um auf den Divisor zu kommen, gibts 3 Möglichkeiten: [2/6]

It’s also really unfortunate that Ontario, like all of Canada, has a First past the post electoral system that allows majority overrule by minorities

#elections #fpp #proportional #voting

As #PR was on BBC R4 & ICYMI - My piece for #ProgressivePulse on #PR - why we need it and how we get it.

Plus something about mangles.

"Until #FPTP is replaced with a #Proportional voting system all "U"K🇬🇧 politics is just re-arranging the deck-chairs on the Titanic and is largely a pointless waste of time & effort."
