:::::: Also, I hope the irony of [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] correcting my grammar error on a widely used but incorrect phrase in a push for preferring definitions which are widely used over those which are technically correct is not missed by people reading this. --[[User:Dr. Edmonds|Dr. Edmonds]] ([[User talk:Dr. Edmonds|talk]]) 22:23, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
::::::: My comments were not intended as personal attacks against you, and I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume that your messages weren't intended as personal attacks against me (despite the very personal accusations you made in your last comment). But it also doesn't seem productive to continue this conversation, since I'm finding it difficult to endorse your relentless attacks of the quality of Wikipedia content here on electowiki, given the lack of evidence that you've tried to make the corrections on Wikipedia. Instead, I'm planning to continue the work that I started last night. Your objections to my changes last night are noted (and you'll note that I eliminated the first line that I copied from Simple Wikipedia last night, and I may try fixing https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_representation too) -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 23:40, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
== Usage ==
I am pretty sure India does not use Proportional Representation. I recall mentioning Duverger's Law to Matthew Shugart when I introduced myself to him while he was at UCSD, and he mentioned India as a counterexample. I believe its multi-party system is better explained by a larger assembly size per Shugart and Taagapera's Seat Product Model. ChatGPT also says India does not use ProRep but some states within it, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, use STV. It names Germany as the largest country using ProRep, which seems right to me. --[[User:PerfectlyGoodInk|PerfectlyGoodInk]] ([[User talk:PerfectlyGoodInk|talk]]) 19:30, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
