Line 174:
PR-Squared does not explicitly seek close proportionality, although simulations indicate that it goes a lot further towards that outcome than FPTP.
Moreover, PR-Squared can deliver more proportional outcomes than some supposedly PR systems! For example, the Welsh Additional Member System has produced Gallagher Indexes of disproportionality in excess of 10% in four out of six elections since 1999. Even higher values can be found in elections to the European Parliament conducted in Ireland under STV. <ref>{{cite web |first=Michael |last=Gallagher |title=Election Indices |url=https://www.tcd.ie/Political_Science/people/michael_gallagher/ElSystems/Docts/ElectionIndices.pdf |date=January 18, 2023}}</ref>
Simulations suggest that PR-Squared would have delivered Gallagher Indexes of '''''less''''' than 10% in nine out of thirteen elections for the UK parliament since 1974. (and compared to only one under FPTP)
