There has to be a better, shorter way to say “party list proportional representation” in five syllables or less. Ideas:

  • ranked slate voting
  • instant slate voting
  • slate choice voting
  • member slate voting

Problem is that I’m trying to find a shorter term which applies strictly to legislative elections. The use of the word “slate” can apply to any office, and I need to distinguish legislative elections from others.

Finally! The EU has found a legal way of supporting Ukraine, circumventing the Hungarian blockade, using special rules introduced under the pandemic.

This means an end to the veto blockade from Putin's Hungarian helper, Victor Orbán.

@accretionist @zout @randahl a quibble: the Netherlands uses party-list proportional representation, which is a more “pure” form of proportional representation than in that you’re voting for party slates, not individuals. But your point about the left being divided is definitely correct, no matter the election system. It’s just worse by far in FPTP systems like the US, UK or Canada. I’d personally rather have in part or in full tbh
