Titel: A Critical Discussion of the Characteristic Properties of List PR and FPTP Systems

Abstract: This paper discusses the characteristic properties of List PR systems and FPTP systems, as given in Hout 2005 and Hout et al. 2006. While many of the properties we consider are common to both systems, it turns out (see Hout 2005) that the British system distinguishes itself by satisfying the district cancel lation property, while the Dutch system distinguishes itself by satisfying consistency and anonymity.

However, we will also give counter-arguments against insisting upon the property of being party fragmentation-proof.

Methods reach from axiomatic analyses over experiments to simulations and from t...
