Not sure about the 'What would happen if I voted for' feature - as it is set at a fixed point in time - and so will be out of date (and untrue) as soon as anyone casts a vote.

IN ORDER TO MAXIMISE EFFECT IT IS ALWAYS RECOMMENDED TO VOTE FOR UKRP

Keithunder Day 5,484, 08:07

It is more relevant later on and when the voting is closed you can see how close it was

Sir Humphrey Appleby Day 5,485, 05:29

To add to Keith - that argument is true regardless of any system that isn't automatically updated; but it's still interesting to see it manually put in at recorded times so it's still 'fairly' measured

Keithunder Day 5,484, 10:44

It also shows up that the system used in not monotonic
So at one point voting UKRP, Pirate or Goat would mean The Goats gaining a seat from TUP!

harveytailbanger Day 5,484, 12:33

Surely it is monotonic as according to the definition I've seen monotonic means 'a change favorable for X does not hurt X' and the party gaining the vote certainly doesn't lose out

Keithunder Day 5,484, 13:23

This system produced the Alabama paradox. When they increased the number of members of congress Alabama lost a seat. Divisor systems do not have this fault (D'Hondt or Santa Lauge)

dougal4chaos Day 5,484, 11:12

voted - thanks again for consitently bringing out these articles

Keithunder Day 5,484, 11:15

Congrats on your (projected) Election!

Persej Fyromski Day 5,484, 13:03

what is new future

harveytailbanger Day 5,484, 14:06

This would mean more work for Keith but how about a calculation of how many unopposed votes for each party are required in order to increase that party's projected number seats by one.

harveytailbanger Day 5,484, 14:27

Scrap that idea, as with each seat requiring 2 or less votes, intuitively, if a single vote extra doesn't gain a seat then two unopposed votes will gain an extra seat

Sir Humphrey Appleby Day 5,485, 02:54

Excellent addition - I was always a bit wary about how exactly things were calculated
