I do not understand how you could possibly think that this proposal adds weight to fat parties, so could you please explain to me how you came to this conclusion? This SMPP system actually does the exact opposite by limiting the powers of the "fat" parties to the percentage of the vote that they receive nationally. SMPP actually levels the playing field with minor changes to the current electoral system, and is therefore easier for the general public to understand.
