Nonpartisan proportionality: Difference between revisions

===Benefits===

Advocates for NPV argue it is an improvement over winner-take-all non-proportional voting systems such as first-past-the-post, where vote splits commonly result in a majority of voters electing no one and the successful candidate having support from just a minority of the district voters. NPV prevents in most cases one party taking all the seats and in its thinning out of the candidates in the field prevents the election of an extreme candidate or party or group if it does not have enough overall general appeal.
