title = {Weg vom Pfadabhängigkeitsproblem: Präferenzwahl in Mehrpersonenwahlkreisen als Reformoption des Bundeswahlrechts?},
year = {2016},
note = {If the German electoral system would have been designed in a
planning-related manner, it could have taken on several forms - but it
most certainly would not look the way it currently looks. Despite the
seeming lack of creativity and drive concerning the electoral
system’s reform in the current term, it is necessary to think about
further reform steps. The reform discussion should centre on an
electoral system named STV - Single Transferable Vote. STV has many
supporters in the international scientific discussion and it is at
least able to do one thing: to deliver on the promise of the
connection between personalization and proportional representation to
an even larger extent than can be reached through the German mixed
member proportional system. And even if such a thing as a best
electoral system cannot exist, STV despite some weaknesses, carries
great potentials that could be implemented in the German political
system.},
