D'HONDT ELECTORAL SYSTEM: Is the modified D'Hondt Electoral System imposed on Fiji proportional? It is not representational at all
"I must say, perhaps I'm a little bit disappointed that there wasn't a constituency system in the new parliamentary arrangements because with the constituency, you are responsible in the course of Parliament term for going back to the people who had elected or who haven't elected you and get the feedback as to what they thought was going on in Parliament. That will also assist you in knowing what was the rumblings and what was the strong feeling. There is always a danger that somehow when we are elected you forget about them for a moment and we are getting too far away from that." - Chief Justice Anthony Gates
