Answer Details
Proportional representation is an electoral system that apportions legislative seats to a group relative to its actual voting strength. In this system, the number of seats a party receives is proportional to the number of votes they receive. This means that a party with 30% of the total votes cast will receive 30% of the seats in the legislature. This is different from the simple plurality system where the candidate or party with the most votes wins the election regardless of the percentage of votes received. Discriminatory majority is not a recognized term in the context of electoral systems, while franchise refers to the right to vote in an election.
