Proportional Representation Society of Australia
The graph shows that under the existing single-member district system, the Liberals, with 55.7% of seats, gained well over 50% of seats (an absolute majority) even though the voters gave them only 44.0% of first preference votes - well short of 50%.
Under a Hare-Clark multi-member system of proportional representation, the Liberal MLAs would have to join with the National MLAs to form Government, as the votes of just enough Victorians (50.7%) indicated was wanted, but the notoriously distorting system prevented them from achieving.
