Quálse'Cosă Eda 'n Altreu

One of the PdR's main objectives during the 60th Cosă is to implement a major reform to the Cosă itself: instead of being elected by party-list proportional representation, we will propose to transition to a Cosă elected by Mixed-Member Proportional Representation.

• "What the heck is that?", you ask? It's a system that combines proportional representation and regional districts, in order to ensure that smaller provinces' citizens cannot be drowned out on the national stage while still maintaining a proportionate legislature that accurately reflects the electorate.
• "Doesn't the current structure of the Ziu do that already?" - Yes, but it does so in a way that is: (a) needlessly clunky for Talossa's size, (b) chokes other potential reforms (especially those concerning provincial mergers) in gridlock, and (c) requires too many people; Senators are eight individuals that are unable to help "share the load" of Cosă seats, and we have seen several recent Cosăs where multiple MCs are holding the maximum number of seats permitted.
• "Wouldn't this over-represent provinces, if the Senäts also represents them equally?" - it would, though the goal is to implement an MMP Cosă as the first step to transitioning to a unicameral Ziu overall.
• "How does all this work, anyway?" - Basically, provincial seats are won using a given method (ranked-choice voting is a likely front-runner), and the remaining seats are divided among parties to approximate a proportional result, taking the provincial seats into account.
