Himl Milci. How proportional representation works the Hare Syslo of proportional representation is being in utilized in the United kingdom and the British do s to ensure the of minorities As Well As of the majorities of electorates of various kinds of Public authorities aether there Are two parties or a number of groups among tic actors the inequities of the methods of election formerly and in use have become glaring and intolerable. Whole classes crests and schools of opinion have been deprived of any voice j legislation or have been entirely unrepresented on legislative parties have enjoyed majorities far in excess of those to they would be entitled under a proportional system. To Saje cases the minority parties though polling a considerable Juinger of votes in the aggregate in general elections have failed a secure More than one or two seats in the particular Legislatures. He need for proportional representation is now very widely re Flimin izod. The government of Manitoba proposes to apply u immediately to at. Least the Urban constituencies in and round the fatty of Winnipeg. There is at the present time widespread rebellion against the old bipartisan system. The practical necessity which the electors Jive been under to vote Only for candidates firmly attached to lie party organizations has Arisen from the fact that a third can Sidate of Independent views or sympathetic to one Prtrt or tins other without being closely bound to it generally Drew votes from beside and made the election of the other party candidate a Cut the use of the Hare system of the single vote transferred j3 the need arises according to the preferences marked by the on the ballot enables Independent candidates to in with results of election no of no.

And failing its votes will pass on to other candidates and exercise at least tie same effect As if its candidate had not run. Perhaps the greatest advantage which is Likely to accrue from he adoption of p. H. Is the greater Freedom of the individual member. Since to be elected a candidate must secure not an absolute majority of All the votes cast in the constituency but an electoral quota consisting of the smallest fraction of the votes in an even count would secure the filling of All the vacancies the least waste of voting Power a candidate so elected Fairir Sun of support by his own following As distinct from Tho port of the party no Chicory though that must always be a he is thus encouraged to use his judgment when elected leaders Are coi strained to recognize that members Are representatives of those who elected As Well As followers of apolitical party. The British system has in theory relied for its Success upon the Independence of members of parliament and much of the loss of Confidence in it of late years has Arisen from the increasing stricture of the party tie. P. R. Would restore much of the old Independence of the sitting members without at the Janie time destroying the cohesion of the group or parly which serves a useful purpose in stabilizing parliamentary procedure. The Hare system of voting not Only ensures proportional indentation of groups and political parties in the legislative body Lut is also admirably adapted for use in the circumstances arising in connection with British constitutional practice. It necessitates action of Multi member constituencies of larger than arc about five scats to the constituency is the plan most explanation of election result 1st count the returning officer sorts Trio bal lot papers according to the Giunch with Trio lip burp i credits each candidate with one Voto in re Spect of Encl ballot on which name is to marked.

This minimum is in thin elec Tion 20 and in found by dividing the number of votes polled by to one More than the number of heats and by adding 1 to the result of Tho division.
