| Ամփոփում: | Elections can increase tension in ethnically divided societies, like Fiji. The way constituencies are drawn and votes counted can also affect the result. First-past-the post can deliver lopsided results, while proportional representation may give excessive influence to small, fringe parties.

This book assesses their recommendations, looks at alternatives, and considers how they might work in Fiji. |
