Germany’s version of PR keeps local MPs
The UK’s versions of PR do too. We literally have in the UK right now:
STV elections for the Northern Irish assembly and Scottish local government; and
AV+ elections for the Scottish and Welsh Parliaments.
Both are ways of delivering proportionality and geographic representation at the same time (though STV is vastly superior - AV+ delivers proportionality by having two categories of representatives, whereas STV has both features incorporated into a single system).
Agreed. Yeah AV+ is essentially what the Germans have too
Not sure Mixed Member PR and AV are that close to be honest…
Oh I might just be confusing them
