===Proportionality Threshold===
 
This last undetermined constant, K, was discussed above in the variant section. The value of 2 would give Webster reweighting. This is a common debate when designing a system intended to produce something like [[Proportionalproportional representation]].
 
The key is to consider what the natural threshold should be in specific scenarios. Consider a 2 seat race with two factions Red and Blue. Assume Red is the larger party so it will win one of the seats. What fraction of votes does Red need to win the second seat? This all depends on the system but they all come down to two options for threshold.
