Suppose this is the vote share for parties in a district

Green party - 25%

Blue Party - 35%

Red Party - 40%

Suppose this is a 20-member district with three parties contesting for seats. How would you use the proportionality rule to decide the winners? 1. How many seats would each party get? 2. How would parties decide the winners from among their own leaders? 3. We know who the winner would have been under Plurality rule. Do you think PR is better? Why?
