[–] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yeah we do have single member seats in the lower house though which is a completely broken system. Most of Europe recognises that, our frienemies across the ditch recognise that. Consensus seeking and coalitions are much more representative forms of government than single member winner takes all seats. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Paradoxvoid@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago Yep, this is why the Senate is much more representative, and why the big parties who control the House of Representatives hate it so much. permalink fedilink source parent
