Line 162:
===Turnout===
Since the "wasted vote" disincentive under FPTP largely falls away under PR squared, it might be expected that turnout would rise if voters are informed that their vote really does count, even in hitherto electoral deserts for their preferred party.
===Reduced tactical voting===
Similarly to the turnout benefit, one might hypothesise that tactical voting would be reduced. If voters understand their votes have a direct effect on the national outcome, they may feel encouraged to vote more honestly for what they want, instead of (under FPTP) guessing which party has the best chance of locally defeating what they don't want.
===Retains small constituencies===
