Pierre's son has reiterated his intent to change Canada over to a proportional representation system of voting.
Only parties passing a 3% minimum threshold in the first round are assigned seats. If the party receiving the plurality of the votes passes a 40% threshold, it is attributed a minimum of 340 seats (54%). The remaining 277 seats are allocated to the other parties in a proportional fashion, and no second round takes place.Italy has had over 60 fractious governments in the 70 years since World War II.
