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. 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) |

Even higher values can be found in elections to the European Parliament conducted in Ireland under STV.
