Annotation: At a time of growing discontent over the inadequacies of our electoral system, few Americans realize that many of its shortcomings area caused by flaws in the basic structure of the voting system itself - the plurality rules that govern how votes are cast and winner elected. Amy outlines the problems that plaque our current system and explains how proportional representation would ameliorate or solve them.

Publisher Description:
The author rejects the US system of voting plurality which reinforces the two-party monopoly and restricts voter choice. As an alternative, he argues for proportional representation, where officials are elected in multi-member districts according to the proportion of the votes won by their parties.
