Line 266:
For all serious parties, maximising their national vote share is imperative under this system. But on occasion, for a variety of reasons, a party may not be able to field a full slate in every constituency, thereby seriously handicapping itself under PR-Squared.
 
In such cases, a party-only box could be permitted on the ballot in a candidate-less constituency. While not benefiting the party locally, it would still garner "votes" that would contribute to its national seat-total, helping to elect candidates elsewhere. Of course, the usual rules on lost deposits would apply to such "empty" boxes, to deter national no-hopers from running an "empty" box in every constituency.
