This booklet discusses four families of electoral systems, how they work, and how counting votes under each system produces different outcomes, whether in the makeup of the legislature, the characteristics of the party system, or the nature of government. The four families of electoral systems include plurality, majority, proportional representation and mixed systems.--Document.

The British electoral system treats parties disproportionately and differentially. This original study of the fourteen general elections held between 1950 and 1997 shows that the amount of bias in those election results increased substantially over the period, benefiting Labour at the expense of the Conservatives. Labour's advantage peaked at the 1997 general election when, even assuming there had been an equal share of the votes for the two parties, it would have won 82 more seats than its opponents. This situation came about because of different aspects of two well-known electoral abuses - malapportionment and gerrymandering - which operate despite the non-partisan redistribution processes involved in defining new constituencies conducted on five occasions by the independent Boundary Commissions during the period studied. With the use of imaginative diagrams, the book examines these processes in detail, illustrating how they operate, and stresses the important role of tactical voting in the production of recent election results. This book will be of great interest to all students of the British electoral system, not least those concerned with its potential reform, for which the authors make detailed proposals.

Popular elections are at the heart of representative democracy. Thus, understanding the laws and practices that govern such elections is essential to understanding modern democracy. In this book, Cox views electoral laws as posing a variety of coordination problems that political forces must solve. Coordination problems - and with them the necessity of negotiating withdrawals, strategic voting, and other species of strategic coordination - arise in all electoral systems. This book employs a unified game-theoretic model to study strategic coordination worldwide and that relies primarily on constituency-level rather than national aggregate data in testing theoretical propositions about the effects of electoral laws. This book also considers not just what happens when political forces succeed in solving the coordination problems inherent in the electoral system they face but also what happens when they fail.
