An election method to replace MMP

by having the entitlement to a Party List MP reduced by the same number.
The only vote that really counts in this system is therefore the Party List
vote.

This is a good thing of course, because the number of seats for a party is
proportional to the number of the votes. Somehow you make it sound like a
bad thing. The consituency candidates have a close connection with a
locality which is not necessarily the case with party lists.

 >or four years.  This can be applied to a range of elections, whether for
single member constituencies, such as the Australian House of
Representatives or to multi member constituencies elected by STV
proportional representation, such as the Irish Dail.  The non-ordinal
systems are, IMHO, poor alternatives that might be better suited to less
numerate societies.
