So, I was studying for social studies, and was reading a part about proportional vs regional representation. I quite like the proportional voting system we have here in the Netherlands, and I was wondering how people in other countries feel about their voting system. So…

  -Where are you from? 
  -Do you have a proportional or regional system, or a variation there?
  -What do you think of that voting system?

Location: US

System Type: Regional/ Winner take all

Thoughts on System Type: Piece of shit

Why?: Single-member districts are subject to gerrymandering, less votes go towards electing the winner, false majorities are 4-5x more common than PR systems, elections are not competitive, minority ideology is excluded, political dialogue is muffled, voters can’t support their favorite candidates because of wasted votes, and those not voting for their rep have no one representing them.
