Define proportional representation

Proportional Representation is a system used to elect a country’s government in which parties gain seats in proportion to the number of votes cast for them.

Proportional Representation (PR) characterizes electoral systems in which divisions in an electorate are reflected proportionately in the elected body. If n% of the electorate support a particular political party as their favourite, then roughly n% of seats will be won by that party. The essence of such systems is that all votes contribute to the result—not just a plurality, or a bare majority.
