This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | PAL ( Proportional, Accountable, Local) representation is a system for electing a proportionally-representative legislature. Most voters would vote for a single candidate listed on their local ballot. The vote totals are compared to the threshold for election to a seat, allow for up to one seat worth of leftover votes; for instance, if there are 9 seats, the threshold would be 10% of the vote plus one. Among those candidates who are not elected directly, the ones with the lowest vote totals are eliminated, and their votes transferred according to the predeclared preferences of the candidate preferred on that ballot. Once candidates are elected, each district would be assigned one representative from each winning party, so that each representative could have multiple districts; smaller, more concentrated territories for representatives of larger parties, and broader, more diffuse territories for those of smaller parties. Thus, among the representatives assigned to your district, you could always ensure that there would be one whom you'd helped elect; someone who truly represented you, both geographically and ideologically. |
