I so agree with you Bryan that I developped a mathematical criteria to mesure what follows for different electoral system. I call that individual approbation rate (residual individual approbation rate in the case of transferable voting methods). To simplify it measures the proportionality of an election, while not allowing compensations when disproportions in one region (multi-membered or not) are the reverse of disproportions in another region. I can show some examples if you give me results of some method.
