Proportional Representation Applied To Party Government

In Australia, the topic of electoral reform has become a hotly debated issue due to a clause in the Commonwealth Bill that mandates the direct election of six senators from each state. Advocates of the Block Vote argue that the party in the majority should be able to elect all six senators, while a small group of reformers are pushing for the adoption of the Hare system, which would give each section of the population equal representation. In this book, the author proposes a new electoral reform that combines the advantages of both methods while avoiding their disadvantages. This reform would ensure that each electorate is contested by the two main parties, provide fair representation to all sections of the population, and discourage the formation of minor groups that often skew election results. If you're interested in the topic of electoral reform and want to learn more about a potential solution, this book is a must-read.
