- Single Transferable Vote or STV is a preferential and fairly proportional electoral system. It is mainly used in Ireland, primarily the Republic, but also for European elections in Northern Ireland. STV is a constituency system but a multi member one (STV in single member constituencies is called AV and is a completely different system, because the Politicians it elects are not proportional to the votes the party receives, and they are usually Australian. The fewer constituencies you divide your population into the more proportional STV will usually be, but the ballot papers can get rather long and very difficult to count.

| - Single Transferable Vote or STV is a preferential and fairly proportional electoral system. It is mainly used in Ireland, primarily the Republic, but also for European elections in Northern Ireland. STV is a constituency system but a multi member one (STV in single member constituencies is called AV and is a completely different system, because the Politicians it elects are not proportional to the votes the party receives, and they are usually Australian. The fewer constituencies you divide your population into the more proportional STV will usually be, but the ballot papers can get rather long and very difficult to count. Unlike list systems of proportional representation which encourage small but tightly centralised parties, STV tends to encourage large but decentralised parties. This is because politicians with a strong personal vote are a big asset to any party in STV, and larger parties will tend to put up multiple candidates in each constituency where they hope to win more than one seat. Those candidates are campaigning both with and against each other. Also multi member systems tend to underrepresent small and evenly spread parties.
