Why Countries Use Proportional Representation
The gist
Countries use proportional representation to make election results better reflect the diversity of voters' opinions in their legislatures.
Explain like I'm 5
It's like sharing a pizza where everyone gets slices based on how much they like each topping, so all tastes are included fairly.
Big picture
Proportional representation helps ensure that smaller groups and different political views get a voice in government, which can lead to more balanced and inclusive decision-making.
