Proportional Past the Post will rank party candidates based on how many votes they have won within their own district, but only one candidate can represent a district. The Hare Quota with Largest Remainder will be used. Parties can only compete in districts if they are still entitled to win a seat and have a candidate in place.
Once parties know how many seats they are entitled to, they will qualify their top candidates. These candidates will go onto a qualified list, with the highest voted candidate starting their constituency. If two or more qualified candidates are competing within the same district the one with the most votes wins, with the others being eliminated. The partys next highest ranked candidate will then be qualified.
A four-party system is needed because core support for socialism and conservatism is divided between moderate and radical members. These two factions need their own parties, as having a civil war while in government or opposition costs the electorate.
To help solve this these two parties can form a coalition, meaning their votes are transferred if not winning in the first or second rounds. If a coalition government is formed the senior and junior partners are already established, which helps in creating joint policy.
