message: Err, I don't think this is used in Croatian elections. Rather, the D'Hondt method is used. I don't think that the description in this article matched that method... does it? --Shallot 15:53, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

thread_title: Good governance

message: Since plurality voting in single member constituencies is likely to lead to clear majorities, and thus "strong government"[citation needed], the extra seats that the big parties are likely to win as well are unnecessary for strong government. The opposition, which may only win seats in the SM part of the election, may be too weak to ensure that the government is accountable, leading to less than good government.[citation needed]
Is "Strong government" defined somehow, (eg. Large majority of seats?) or is this POV? "Less than good government" seems to be very subjective... Who is to say what is "good" government... A rewording may be be beneficial here, I am not entirely sure what point the paragraph is making, though there does seem like there might be a legitimate one somewhere in there! :) In it's current form, I am afraid I can't see what the paragraph adds...

The proportion of list seats compared to total seats ranges widely; for example, 18.7% in South Korea, 37.5% in Japan, and 68.7% in Armenia 90.4%.
It seems that it used to say:
The proportion of list seats compared to total seats ranges widely, from 37.5% in Japan to 18.7% in South Korea to 68.7% in Armenia and 90.4% in Timor Leste.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.215.136.29 (talk) 22:02, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

message: Additional/Mixed Member Systems are compensatory ie the 'top up' element is to ensure overall proportionality. The more seats you win in the first-past-the-post section section the fewer in the top up list section. Under Parallel voting the proportional section isn't a top up - and parties are awarded seats in proportion to their votes cast for that section - and do not consider votes or seats from the first past the post section.

message: This article's factual accuracy is disputed, we can provide more information in each country’s section, for example, provide some examples and numbers to prove how parallel voting happened in each country. 
The tone sometimes is not encyclopedic tone, and lack of citations, for example in Kazakhstan sections, there are no citations in that section.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackson8003 (talk • contribs) 14:27, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  two aspects to improve the article 

message: In the Procedure section, a paragraph ends with the sentence, "Any supplementary seats won by a party are usually filled from an ordered list of nominated candidates, but open list". That's not a full sentence, it's missing the second half. I'm not knowledgable enough on the topic to complete the thought there, but could someone else with more information on the subject fix that to be comprehendable?
