Gallagher Disproportionality Index
The Gallagher disproportionality index, also called the least squares index (LSq), is the standard summary measure of how faithfully an electoral system translates votes into seats. Introduced by Michael Gallagher in 1991, it takes the difference between each party's vote share and its seat share, squares those differences, sums and halves them, and takes the square root. Because deviations are squared before aggregation, the index gives disproportionate weight to a few large discrepancies rather than many small ones, capturing the intuition that one badly over- or under-represented party distorts the result more than scattered rounding errors. It has become the most widely reported single-number diagnostic of electoral-system performance in comparative political economy.
Rekodi ya chanzo
Nukuu zimehamishwa kwa uhalisi kutoka kwa rekodi ya chanzo cha mbinu. Hakuna uthibitisho wa kiwango cha dai unaodokezwa kutoka kwao.
Madai yaliyotunzwa
Madai yamehifadhiwa katika daftari la ushahidi, kila moja ikiwa na tathmini yake.
Mwonekano huu haubuni tathmini ya dai wakati daftari haina yoyote.
