	Proportional Representation FAQ
		Party List System - This is by far the most popular form of proportional representation but unfortunately it is probably the least likely to be accepted in the United States.
		Some party list systems allow the voter to also give his preferences as to individual candidates, but those candidates must be in the same party that he is voting for.
		Third party candidates are much more likely to win in these kinds of elections because they are not marginalized by people’s fear of wasting their vote.

		The liberal New Era party, which came to power in 2002 on a promise to clean up corruption, is ardently opposed to Mr Lembergs–and is still leading in the polls.
		The party would probably not pass the threshold of 5% of the vote for entry into the Saiema (parliament) alone, but could take votes from New Era in any case.
