If someone who knows has the time to explain, I'd like to know what these systems are.
1. "crude system" used in Westminster elections. (and what is a "Westminster election"?)
2. PR system (List System version")
3. List system (Single Transferable Vote version)
I assume these are all are used in the UK. We have our own peculiarities in the US and I'd be happy to explain them to any non-Americans who are interested.
In any case, while interesting, this is getting rather far afield from metric so let us please continue any of this dialog privately.
