Representatives

• First past the post
  The winner is candidate with the most votes. There does not have to be a majority vote in favour of a candidate for them to be elected. Nor is there a minimum turnout required.
  

• Proportional representation "PR"
  Although there are different forms of proportional representation in essence they have the following in common.
  • 5 or more representatives are elected by a larger district, rather than one representative for a small district.
  • The seats are distributed according to the proportion of the vote each party or group received. This may more closely reflect the choices of all the electorate and not just the majority.
