  • This year’s general election, after all the votes counted, has a

    • Sainte-Laguë index of 48.36, and a
    • Gallagher index of 23.75.

    This makes the (dis)proportionality worse than HUNGARY’s (my home) FPTP component (SLI = 36.96) – a component of the mixed system which allows our ruling party to get 2/3 supermajorities each time, every time, with sometimes less than 50% of the votes, and which ultimately transformed our country to an “electoral autocracy”

    You guys need electoral reform desperately. And do it before someone cheats with the current rules deliberately.

    (PS: I calculated the electoral indices using the python package voting)

    Even more impressive because of it’s unholy pronunciation, the Hungarian „longest” word: ’megszentségteleníthetetlenségeskedéseitekért’

    /ˈmɛksɛntʃeːktɛniːthɛtɛtlɛnʃeːɡɛʃkɛdeːʃɛɪtɛkeːrt/

    Aber Newton war die der Beste: “14 (1 1/4) Grad: Die größte Hitze eines Bades, die man für etwas Zeit aushalten kann, wenn die Hände eintauchen wird und wird in konstanter Bewegung halten.” Wissenschaftlich.

    English PS:

    I’m just learning German and though I checked with Google Translate and Duden Mentor, it might make no sense or whatever else.
