| 520 | _a"Proportional Representation Applied to Party Government: A New Electoral System" by T.R. Ashworth and H.P.C. Ashworth is a political treatise written in the early 20th century, around the turn of the century. The book examines the principles and practice of political representation, particularly in the context of party government in Australia, while arguing for an electoral reform that balances majority rule with adequate representation for minorities. The opening of the book sets the stage for a critical analysis of existing electoral systems and their impact on party governance. The authors introduce the concept of representation, tracing its historical development and principles, emphasizing the need for effective organization and leadership in political parties to avoid fragmentation. They critique various electoral reform proposals, particularly those advocating for a purely proportional representation system, arguing instead for a reform that allows for proportional representation within two main parties. This reform aims to ensure both majoritarian governance and adequate minority representation, countering the ongoing tensions of factionalism in contemporary politics.
