Quote: Scooter Nik "
What a complete lack of understanding.... OK, so there is a Muslim party. The Muslim population of the country is around 4%. If that was spread evenly around the country, under PR they couldn't muster enough votes to gain a single seat, never mind a majority.
If they were all to move into one or two constituencies then perhaps they could manage to grab a seat. But at the end of the day that is all they could get.
Nice bit of scaremongering, but ultimately flawed. You may as well say that all the people in this country who hold a motorcycle license, or who believe in aliens, or who follow RL could be running the country. The same logic would apply. It could never happen without the tacit support of the rest of the country.'"
Nik, it is you that has got it wrong, the current system wouldn't give a "Muslim" party any seats but PR would. If they represented 4% of the voters they would get 4% of seats.
