Representación proporcional

Representación proporcional is a voting system where political parties gain seats in a legislative body roughly in proportion to the percentage of votes they receive. For example, if a party gets 30% of the votes, they should receive about 30% of the seats. This system aims to fairly reflect the diverse opinions of voters, ensuring that smaller parties have a voice, and reducing the chance of one party dominating entirely. It promotes a more accurate representation of various political viewpoints within the government.
