Impact on Policy?

Impact on Policy?

This is definitely a very timely topic and I think it is great that you chose it for our wiki! To relate the topic more closely with our course objectives, I wonder if you could explore some of the social impacts of having a proportional representation system vs FPTP? For example, pro-rep is often associated with increased representation of women in government, reduced income inequality, and more sustainable (as in long-lasting) environmental policy, due to minimizing the effects of policy lurch, and having more of the popular vote count. This would be an interesting angle to explore for the wiki to tie it to our course themes of social justice and feminism. To build on the earlier commenter, here is a scholarly source you could use to expand on these points.
