Line 18:
Aside from the novel idea of allocating seats proportionally to the square of the votes, the system has some resemblance to the ''Zweitmandat'' in Baden-Württemberg, the ''Sekihairitsu'' used in Japan, and [[Dual member proportional]] proposed in Canada, known as "best loser" systems.
PR squared may not fit that definition, however, since it is hard to view as a loser a candidate who gains a strong second-place in a '''''two'''-member'' seat, and ''these'' are among the candidates the system elects.
