Gce Model Questions Vol1 2019 Government Question 26

In a mixed‑member proportional electoral system, a parliament has \(120\) seats, of which \(80\) are constituency seats elected by first‑past‑the‑post and the remaining \(40\) are list seats allocated to achieve overall proportionality based on the national vote. Three parties obtain the following vote shares and constituency seats: - Party A: \(45\%\) of the vote, \(38\) constituency seats - Party B: \(35\%\) of the vote, \(30\) constituency seats - Party C: \(20\%\) of the vote, \(12\) constituency seats No electoral threshold applies. Using the compensatory method (each party's total seats = \(\text{round}(\text{vote share}\times120)\) and list seats = total seats \(-\) constituency seats), determine the total number of seats each party will hold after the list allocation.
