b. Which of these two choices would give you a better chance o flossing almost all of your money within a month: investing all your money in the index fund, or investing all your money in a few randomly chosen stocks that make up the index? 22.

Using your knowledge as well as the passage, explain why the First Past The Post System has rarely resulted in coalition government at Westminster. First Past The Post (FPTP) or Simple plurality is the traditional system of voting in general and local elections in the UK.

It’s a majoritarian system were the person with the most vote wins all in which it tend to favour larger, more established parties over those who support smaller parties.

Single member district representation is the method of voting used by the U.S. and over the years most Texas cities, over 50,000, have adopted the method of single member district elections. Single member district representation is plurality based, meaning the candidate to receive the largest amount of votes is the winner, unlike majority vote which requires the winner to receive %50 plus one vote. These single member districts are primarily dominated by 3 rules: the state will be divided in to districts with a single member representing each district, each district must be contiguous, and each district must be roughly equal in population. The district being contiguous simply means it must be connected with no breaks separating a single district and the limits on population size are to keep representation more equal among the districts. Another method of voting commonly used in democracies is proportional representation, there are many types of proportional representation with slight differences but each have the same goal of giving more equal representation.

Then, in the middle of December, the president and vice president of the United States are really elected by the votes of only 538 citizens -- the "electors" of the Electoral College System. ------------------------------------------------- The Electoral college is a group of people who are elected at the level of states for the sake of voting for the president during the general election . Before , the electoral college was necessary , because people after the drafting of the Constitution were not qualified enough to be involve in a such political concern . Also the founding fathers while drafting the US Constitution , did not put the likelihood of partisanship into consideration . But now things have changed , Americans are no longer uneducated , and they have the qualification to vote directly for the president and also partisanship has proved to be an important element in the electoral process , yet the electoral college still elect on the behalf of the american population
At last, I will try to illustrate the above few points by a real case in Georgia in detail. Under PR system, it uses multimember districts and assigns parliamentary seats in proportion to the percentage of votes in that district (Michael G, 1988). It means that within one district there are several seats available for the candidates to compete. Those who get the greatest number of votes can fill in the seats and get into the parliament. For example, if there are 5 seats available, the top 5 candidates who get the largest number of votes can win the seats.
