Full Representation Around the
World
Currently there are 42 well-established democracies with at least two
million inhabitants and high ratings from the human rights organization
Freedom House. Of these 42 nations only three (the United States, Mongolia and Canada)
do not use a full representation voting systems to elect one
of their national legislatures. Most use a full
representation system for their most powerful national
legislature. For details see table of Lower/Single House Elections in the World's

- Full Representation and Italy -- Not What You Might Think:

reason to oppose reform. In fact, Italy is hardly indicative of
how proportional representation systems work -- and
winner-take-all elections likely would be even more problematic.
