"Conversely, no system has no Proportional Representation since metrics" is confusing to me. — [[User:Psephomancy|Psephomancy]] ([[User talk:Psephomancy|talk]]) 15:53, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
: I think he's saying "There's no score that tells you if the outcome is proportional or not, so there's no way to know if the outcome is proportional". A better way of saying it might be "every method maximizes its own measure of good". [[User:Kristomun|Kristomun]] ([[User talk:Kristomun|talk]]) 16:31, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
:: You guys are both missing it. There are measures of PR like Ghalliger for example. They will never reach any where near the maximum level of disproportional even in single member plurality. The most disproportional systems are moderately proportional under all metrics. To get literally zero representation you have to elect a whole parliament from parties that nobody voted for. This is clearly never going to happen. I thought this was obvious but if you can write it more clearly please do so. --[[User:Dr. Edmonds|Dr. Edmonds]] ([[User talk:Dr. Edmonds|talk]]) 00:22, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
