statement with reference to mixed electoral system?

Democracy is ancient form of government from the period of
Greeks and is still the popular in today. Democracy which is
created from the word demos and kratia where demos mean
people and kratia mean rule, while combined democracy is
defined as a people rule. . Democracy is claimed as a form of
state, form of government, form of society above all it is claimed
as a way of living. The Greek leader Pericles defined it as a
forms of government where people are powerful , Aristotle
defined it as a forms of tyranny government which is formed as
polity (forms of government where middle class ruled ) get
corrupted , while Abraham Lincoln defined democracy as a
government of people by the people , and for the people , in
common democracy is known as a the form of government where
political power is vested in people .
as democracy means a government in which
political power is vested in the people, a question is arises as to
how it is exercised from this standpoint, people exercised the
political power through choosing their political leader in two form
one is a direct form where they vote for the head of the state
while second is a form of representative in which people vote to
choose the representative. In democracy people have a right to
choose the member of the government and they were chosen by
the people through election, they choose the member of
government in two ways by themselves and through their
representative. While representative are those person who are
elected by the people to spoke about their demand and rights in
the legislative and they represent the people , every group of
society or community have their own representative in legislative
and sovereignty is held by the people's representatives.
Representative is a regarded as a deputy, delegate or an agent of
the particular constituency which elect him, charged primarily

with procuring legislation for the advancement of the local

interest of his constituency obtained appropriations of money for
constitution of public works therein, and of securing other favor
within the power of the legislature or government to below.

election is a prime right and element of

democracy to elect their liked one while many types of election
system has been exercised in democracy mixed electoral system
is one the most popular election system. This is called a mixed
electoral system because it is a combination of two electoral
system proportional representation(PR) and a first-past-the-post
(fptp) election system
now it have emerged as a major
alternative to strictly proportional representation and first-pastthe-post . Here it is defined as electoral systems that provide
voters two votes for the legislature one for a party list in a
proportional representation and one for a candidate in a singlemember district two votes, i.e.
One for their district
representative and one for the party list, the list vote determining
the relative strength of parties in parliament. After the district
winners have been determined, sufficient candidates from each
party list are elected to "top-up" each party to the overall number
of parliamentary seats due to it according to its overall list vote.
Before apportioning list seats, so that voting for a representative
automatically meant also voting for the representative's party, all
list votes for parties which failed to reach the minimum threshold
are discarded, the proportions for remaining parties improve.
Also, voters can vote for the local person they prefer for local MP
without regard for party affiliation, any direct seats won by
independent candidates are subtracted from the parliamentary
total used to apportion list seats. And the party which has gained
the highest seat in the legislative has a legal right to form a
government.

democracy as a system of representation can be

explain through the mixed electoral system, as mixed electoral
system is highly defined as the true use of representation in
democracy while utilizing two vote to choose their representative
one for local MP and one for the political parties and both
representative became the legal member of legislative and they
are equally responsible in the process of making the government.
