Introduzione

Nella letteratura sui sistemi elettorali è ben consolidata l'idea che la rappresentanza proporzionale (R.P.) abbia in genere maggior successo nel raggiungere il suo obiettivo principale — una trasformazione ragionevolmente proporzionale dei voti in seggi — soprattutto rispetto alle formule maggioritarie a uno o due turni. Una delle «proposizioni differenziali» di Douglas W. Rae è che «le formule di rappresentanza proporzionale tendono a distribuire i seggi in modo più proporzionale delle formule maggioritarie». È altrettanto noto che le diverse formule di R.P. non sono proporzionali nella stessa misura, ma gli studiosi sono in disaccordo su quali di esse siano più proporzionali e quali meno.
