Talk:Majority bonus system

I hope this is not a POV[edit]

Well, well,

if the majority bonus is used in Italy and Greece which are presently hit by this global crisis in a worse way compared to the other countries in the Eurozone... maybe there is something wrong in the political theory that has conceived it.

Or not?

Or maybe the crisis has nothing to do with electoral systems, jackass... --93.39.197.43 (talk) 18:07, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Name?[edit]

Is the term "Majority bonus" commonly used? E.g. in Greece the bonus is awarded to the plurality party, which may not achieve a majority even with it; so "Plurality bonus" would be much more appropriate (also e.g. in Italy, since it's a bonus for the plurality party). --Roentgenium111 (talk) 23:45, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless of the above, I think the (unilateral) move from "Majority bonus" to "Majority bonus system" should be reverted - the bonus is an variation of a given PR system, it's not a "system" in itself. --Roentgenium111 (talk) 13:43, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't agree with Roentgenium111. A system which does not divide seats proportionally to votes is not a PR, not a "variation of a given PR system"....--79.54.152.218 (talk) 12:32, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
