Which of the following statement is correct about proportional representation? It
Answer Details
Proportional representation is a system of voting that aims to give each political party representation in the assembly that is proportionate to its popular support or votes. This means that if a party gets 30% of the votes, they should get roughly 30% of the seats in the assembly. Therefore, the statement that is correct about proportional representation is that it "gives the parties seats in relation to their popular support". It is important to note that proportional representation aims to make the assembly representative of all citizens by giving smaller parties a voice in the legislature. Additionally, proportional representation does not necessarily preserve the two-party system and it is not a system that legalizes dictatorship.
