 Plurality-Majority Systems
Below is a ballot that would be used in a city election in which the members of a five-person city council would be chosen.
However, it is still a winner-take-all voting system and so it shares all the basic problems of this approach to voting, including the misrepresentation of parties, manufactured majorities, gerrymandering, high levels of wasted votes, and denial of fair representation to third parties, racial minorities and women.
In this hypothetical election, there are 100,000 votes cast and no candidate receives over 50% of the vote in the first round.

Boeri has served under Mosley while also being a member of parliament in Monaco and indeed the head of the foreign relations council, which in effect is a ministerial job.
