Adam wrote in part- In list PR, the candidate lists for parties have to be formed well in advance of the election. It would be very difficult for a party to foresee a specific voting breakdown, and split their party into two or more parties to take advantage of this.
--- D - Any historical facts available as to the maximum number of parties in nations having list PR ??? Especially splits in larger parties over the years -- especially in Israel (1 national district -- 120 Knesset (Parliament) seats) ???
