Chapter 4 · Political elections and parties
I en förenklad proportionell fördelning får ett parti 20 procent av rösterna. Ungefär hur stor andel av platserna motsvarar det?

Correct answer: 20 per cent
The basic principle is that one fifth of the votes corresponds to roughly one fifth of the seats. Actual elections also involve thresholds and rounding to whole seats.
