Re: who become the police? (4.00 / 2)

Do I recall correctly if I say that Greece has nominally proportional representation, but biggest party/pre-election coalition gets a ton of extra seats?

Re: who become the police? (4.00 / 2)

Yes. It's pretty much proportional among the parties that are above the 3% limit, for 260 seats. The other 40 go to the winning party. In the election after the next (you can't change the election law for the next election) the bonus will become 50 seats.
