Majority bonus system

Democracy, like any human construct, has its problems. For example, it is particularly difficult for representative democracy to ensure, simultaneously, equal representation and government stability. An electoral system of proportional representation appears to be - and is, in fact - fairer but it inevitably leads to instability, uncertainty and, ultimately, its rejection.

National elections on June 25 in Greece will be held under the system of "reinforced" proportional representation, which differs from proportional representation that the May 21 national ballot was held under, in that it allocates bonus seats in Parliament.
