Cardinal proportional representation: Difference between revisions

**Thiele's [[party list case]] is the [[Highest averages method]]<nowiki/>s.

*Under the [[Vote unitarity | Unitary interpretation]] interpretation of each voter has an fixed amount of utility to be spent on candidates. When a candidate is elected their power to elect subsequent candidates is lower directly proportionally to the amount of utility previously spend on prior candidates. This interpretation can be thought of as an additional constraint on the [[Monroe's method | Monroe interpretation]] but since the philosophy is about voters spending points on candidates rather than voters themselves being assigned to candidates it is a distinct interpretation of proportional representation. The [[Vote unitarity | Unitary interpretation]] is in some way the inverse interpretation of the [[Phragmén's Method| Phragmén interpretation]]. In the former each '''voter''' has a conserved amount of vote weight to spend on candidates and in the latter the each '''candidate''' has a conserved amount of representation weight to distribute over the voters.
