In my experience(s), when someone has suggested that parties obtain 
seats based on the % of votes rec'd, it is because the party they 
support doesn't have a chance of being elected under current 
circumstances. After almost every election, the communist parties, 
and socialist parties always have the same complaint: the system is 
unfare. It is unlikley that they would have the same complaint if one 
of their members were elected.
