[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] Yes, Grokca, that's one of the things people argue. I read a book for a Poli-Sci class a couple of years ago about theories on proportional representation. Of all the theories I've read, the "winner take all" arrangement is one of the least logical, IMO. One of the best ideas I've heard is for several representatives to be elected in each district (and have larger districts as a result). For example, if you're going to have elections for five seats in the House of Representatives, rather than split the section into five districts for each of the five seats, all five seats are up for grabs on an "at large" basis, and votes are cast for more than one candidate. The result is said (in theory) to be more representative because the majority of the votes will still go to the most popular candidate, but the minority will still get representation because there's more than one seat available.
