Evaluating Electoral Systems
In: Revista de ciencia política, Band 26, Heft 1, S. 212-215
Abstract
Scholars have suggested that electoral systems should be designed to promote (1) fair representation of parties, (2) good governmental performance &/or (3) adequate local representation. These three criteria pertain to three different kinds of accountability-the accountability of parties to their supporters; the accountability of governments to their citizens; & the accountability of MPs to their supporters-which cannot be simultaneously maximized. In this essay, I discuss each criterion in the abstract & with specific reference to the current Chilean electoral system & proposals to reform it. References. Adapted from the source document.
