Voting method simulator

By

Since the election is rapidly approaching, it’s probably a good idea to repost the link to the voting simulator.  Created by Geoffrey Pritchard and Mark Wilson, this allows you to put in proportions of votes and estimate the likely makeup of Parliament under MMP and the four alternatives that are being proposed. There’s also some discussion and a Frequently Asked Questions list.
