Talk:Mixed-member proportional representation

Comparison to Party-list proportional representation

Can anyone (add a section to) explain the difference between MMP and Party-list proportional representation? I tried to read both articles, and I couldn't see any major differences. The later system has been used much longer than since 1945. At least I know Denmark has been using it since 1915.

South Africa

The new electoral system in South Africa is called MMP on the page, but the source here doesn't call it this way, and the system described isn't MMP. With MMP, there's one vote for a fixed number of consistuency seats, and a second vote for proportional, which is used to add as many seats as needed to correct the results in seats to achieve a proportional repartition of the total seats by parties as close as possible to the repartition of the second votes. Here in SA, the system described is two proportional system acting independently to get a fixed total of seats which then add up to each other. That's Parallel voting, not MMP.

"any seats as needed to correct the results in seats to achieve a proportional repartition of the total seats by parties as close as possible" - that's not independent, therefore definitely not parallel voting, it is described as compensatory. Currently I don't see this page as listing it as MMP (the national one). Since the lower tier is also proportional, I don't think it qualifies as MMP or even a mixed system, since it's not even that the two subsystems are different, both are close list except one allows independents. But it is compensatory multi-tier like many proportional systems. Rankedchoicevoter (talk) 11:34, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
