Egyptian Election for Lower House Uses Party List Proportional Representation to Fill Two-Thirds of Seats

On November 28, Egypt elects members of the People’s Assembly, the lower house of the national legislature. See this explanation of the voting system. Voters fill 498 seats. 332 are chosen by proportional representation, using the party list system. The other 166 seats are chosen in the same manner that the United States, Britain, and Canada choose members, by “first-past-the-post.” Thanks to Eric Garris for the link.

  1. 100 percent P.R. in ALL regimes — especially in the many, many DARK AGE / STONE AGE gerrymander regimes in the U.S.A.

  2. How many regimes have those menacing big Eagles — big birds hunting prey (??? taxpayers) ???

    Hmmm. U.S.A., Egypt, etc. – see also the eagles in the former nazi regime.
