         <description><![CDATA[<div>Arguments for SMP:<br>1- Clarity:<br>a) Provides voters with strong constituency representation because each voter has a single, easily identifiable, district representative<br>b) Offers a clear choice of potential parties of government<br>c) Allows governments to be formed that have a clear mandate from the electorate, often on the basis of plurality support<br>2- Accountability/Stability:<br>a) Maximizes accountability because a single representative can be held responsible and can be re-elected or defeated in the next election<br>b) Makes for strong and efficient government since usually a single party has majority control of the assembly<br>c) Produces strong government, governments rarely collapse as a resuly of disunity and internal friction</div>]]></description>

Constituency representatives are responsible for more population compared to SMP system, which decreases representativeness.<br>It can sometimes give rise to what are called " strategic voting" anomalies. In New Zealand in 1996, in the constituency of Wellington Central, some National Party strategists urged voters not to vote for the National Party candidate, because they had calculated that under MMP his election would not give the National Party another seat in parliament, but simply replace another MP from their party list.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>There are several reasons why people are against FPPS:&nbsp;<br>Minority Rule - Since FPPS disregards the vote share, the winner of the election genetally does not reflect the choice of the majority.<br>Two-Party System - Candidates drop out with every election to let their supporters vote for other choices and the system transforms into a two-party system. The voices do not change but first choices do not work in the system.<br>Gerrymandering - Strategically votes are shared but the democracy does not seem to work since people (have to) vote for their second or other choices.<br>The Spoiler Effect - Another candidate might drop in again as thinking to get voted more by others' voters as well with the hope of winning. But it does not work either and their least wanted choice might be elected.</div>]]></description>
