Sixty years of democratic representation in Germany allow us to
study the working of a specific type of electoral system, namely a
mixed system combining proportional and majoritarian rules, in
great detail. Mixed systems have figured as a reference point in
many reform debates of the recent past. This is because they appear
to combine advantageous traits of proportional and majoritarian
rules, such as fairness, proximity between constituencies and
representatives, and stable government majorities. Mixed systems
have also attracted much scholarly attention of late, because they
allow us to study the effects of electoral rules while holding many
intervening variables constant. But they also attract interest
because the proportional and majoritarian electoral tiers affect
each other in ways that differ from what would have resulted under
pure PR or plurality. All this makes mixed systems a fascinating
object of study, and the German system is its oldest and
prototypical exemplar.
