Used Mixed-Member Proportional Representation for the general election.
Mixed-Member Proportional (MMP) representation is a voting system that combines constituency MPs (and proportional representation (PR) to elect a legislature. It is used in various forms by many Europeon countries and gives each party the seats in paraliament very close to their voter share.
In the recent election, FPTP skewed results: Labour won 63% of seats with 34% of votes. A lot of parties had modest vote share but had nearly 0 MPs.
In MRP, you vote for a party list and a local MP. List seats match list vote share (22% vote → 22% seats), with a 3–5% threshold with expectations (Northen Ireland, Scottish and Welsh nationalist parties) MP seats use FPTP; if a party wins 60% of MPs with 40% of votes, other parties get compensatory (overhang) seats to align seat share with votes
