And Ottawa has 23 + Mayor for a city of around 900,000 IIRC. And Montreal has 73 for a population of 1,600,000. But in Montreal's case, that's way too much since that gives 73 mafia crooks/Italian gangsters/egomaniacs/failures at life and politics and so forth.

This method gives France 402 Deputies and Canada 323 MPs. Not bad.

Paris has 163 seats in its city council. Marseille, IIRC, has 101 or something and the current makeup was similar to the one in the 2007-2009 US Senate.

Not bad ? 402 deputies would be awful...

Though for USA, it would give 672 reps, which would still be a progress.

Why would it be awful?

Because the less representatives we have, the less an Assembly is representative.

If you mean representative of social classes, it isn't already and an assembly which pays attention to representation of social classes is corporatist.

The Italian electoral system is terrible.

Yes. Majority bonuses are a perversion of proportional representation. Either you use real PR or you use FPTP or whatever.

No, because proportional representation with majority prizes are aimed to provide clear majorities to a coalition whil not perverting the whole citizens' representation as FPTP does. FTPT is the dumbest electoral system, provides Assembly who aren't even closely representative of the share of the votes. Majority prizes allow to conciliate the need of governability with the exigence of democratic representation.

How is it fair and real proportionality that a party with a plurality, say 30% of the votes, gets 50 flipping percent? That's as bad as FPTP.

How is it fair and real proportionality that a party which has won an election with 30% of vote (and the other party wins 29.5%) gets a majority? FPTP is calling, they want their crap back.

Either you do PR or you don't do it (or at least you don't have the balls to blatantly lie and call it PR).
