***
the candidate with the highest number of voters wins
no matter how many votes he received
It is a majoritarian system
You have as many districts as you have seats to fill
Avantage : produces clear majority in the parliament
Example in India, inside of each states you have districts in which are elected one candidate.
If there are more than 2 candidates, the [[Condorcet winner]] isn't necessary elected = [[paradoxe de Condorcet]]
It may look like a minor problem but actually it is a major democratic one
The extremist [[parti politique|party]] can win. Consensual party can lose. [[polarisation partisane]] peut marcher
The relationship between the number of votes and the number of seats can be disproportional
Example :
10 seats to provide
In each district :
- candidate A = 51%
- candidate B = 49%
In the Parliament you would have 10 seats of A's candidates
It does happen a lot in real life
Grenada, in 2013, the New National Party, obtained 59% of the votes and 100% of the seats
It creates a wide space in transposition so it is important
And politicians can play with the border of districts
