A Vibrant (but Entrenched) Political System

By Stephen M. Hou Nov. 14, 2008

Stella Schieffer made a strong case in the November 4th issue of <i>The</i> <i>Tech</i> (“Party-Based Elections”) for reforming the American electoral system. She described the advantages of Germany’s parliamentary electoral system, where voters separately elect both geographical delegates and party representatives proportional to their support. Schieffer argues that the German system more accurately reflects the sentiments of the electorate and that parties maintain their positions more reliably than individual politicians do.
