    I just had a brief look at AMS on Wikipedia but I’m struggling to understand it. They say it’s less proportional than MMP as used in New Zealand and Germany, but the brief description of how AMS works sounded very much like how MMP works. What’s the difference?

      From Wikipedia:

      Modified version of MMP referred to as the additional-member system, with the number of constituency seats a party won being taken into account when calculating proportional seat

        The less intuitive the system is, the less empowered the voters feel, and the more the system will be gamed. And all voting systems can be gamed.
