First of all Charles explained how things would have turned out totally different in Egypt had they used our preferential system. Now he points out that our system could do with some improvements, and recommends using the German system: On the latest House of Representatives figures, the Coalition would have wound up with just 73 of the 150 seats. Labor would have 54 seats, the Greens 14 and Clive Palmer nine. (Late counting may change the picture slightly, but not much.) That would place a very different political construction on the same underlying support. In Australia we’re used to the idea that a party wins a big majority with only 46% of the vote, but other parts of the democratic world don’t all see things the same way.
