in Cuadernos Manuel Giménez Abad , n. 7, junio , 2014 , 108-125 | ||
The German electoral system has been, and is being studied in Spain, for being a global model to which some political parties have turned their attention expressing the desire to adapt it to our country because it solves problems of proportionality, participation and governance. Moreover, elections to the German Parliament have recently been held using a new model for allocating seats, approved earlier this year by the Bundestag. To our knowledge this new distribution method, which is really complex, introduces significant changes in the allocation phase of seats to candidates that deserve consideration and a detailed description. This report is intended to present clearly and as briefly as possible all the details of this system, using the example of its application to the last elections to the Bundestag. | ||
