Conditions for allocating additional members seats to the largest party (in terms of votes):

1. Has the largest party achieved a 40% share of the popular vote?

2. Is there a gap of 3% points or more to the second placed party?

If the answer to these questions is YES, extra seats will be allocated to this party if it has not gained a workable majority of 40 from the normal first-past-the-post system. It will be given extra seats (up to a maximum of 40) until it does have a majority of 40.

(The seats would be given to candidates named on a party list).

Process for allocating additional members to small parties:

1. Identify those parties that have achieved the threshold of 10% of the popular vote within the region.

2. Of those, identify those parties that are under-represented in the region compared to the national seats-to-votes ratio achieved by the second largest party.*

3. Of those, identify which party is the most under-represented (in terms of seats-to-votes) in that region.

This party is allocated an additional member within the region. Its seats-to-votes ratio is then re-calculated. The assessments (1-3) are then repeated to allocate the next additional member to the most under-represented party.

This process is ended:

1. When all additional member seats are allocated (10 additional member seats would be available in each of 10 regions)

Or,

2. When all parties that achieved the 10% threshold have had their seats-to-votes ratio enhanced to the level achieved nationally by the second largest party.*

* The seats-to-votes ratio of the second placed party is used in order to help the first placed party retain a workable majority.
