Tell me if I'm correct :
MRPC has 3 votes, XPB Party has 4 votes, TNC has 4 votes.
According to the CAG : "Article 9. After elections to l'Etats, each party will receive 20 numbers, which will be produced by dividing the number of votes the party received by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20. The 20 highest numbers will be referred to as high quotients. In case the 20th highest number has the same value as the 21th highest number all numbers with the same value will not be considered high quotients. This will result in vacant seats in the assembly. Each party will receive a number of seats, equal to the number of high quotients it received. Each party may divide its seats amongst Cézembrian citizens as it sees fit"

votes   3   4        4
1   3   4   4
2   1.5   2   2
3   1   1.33   1.33
4   0.75   1   1
5   0.6   0.8   0.8
6   0.5   0.67   0.67
7   0.43   0.57   0.57
8   0.375   0.5   0.5

This method allocates 7 seats to XPB Party, 7 seats to TNC, 5 seats to MRPC (and the 20th seat is not allocated as the 20th highest number (0.5 in this case) has the same value as the 21th highest.
As one citizen cannot have more than 6 seats, XPB party and TNC must give at least one of their vote to a second individual to enjoy the full benefit of their 7 seats.

Using the calculator I believe you are correct

[Glüc da Dhi S.H.]

Congratulations to the winning parties!

I hereby assign the MRPC seats to myself.

[þerxh Sant-Enogat]

@xpb and @þerxh Sant-Enogat give 2 seats each to @Dame Litz Cjantscheir, UrN

• @Glüc da Dhi S.H.  :  5 seats (5 MRPC)
• @xpb : 5 seats (5 XPB)
