    Ah, thanks. So there’s no need to double the number of seats on the council?

    Also, upvote for CGP Grey.

      Technically, MMP does not at all require a change in the number of seats.

      The doubling of seats is only used to aid in explanation.

        How is proportionality attained without additional seats? No local representatives?

          An example, which I am not advocating for, is lowering the number of regional seats, and converting them into party list seats. This way, the number of seats remains the same.
