    Default How do you country count elections? demographic or 123123123 votes vs 123123126 votes? Special votes?

    Parliamentary parties in Norway:

    LEFT--SV--Sp--Ap--Middel--Venstre--Høyre--Krf--Frp--RIGHT

    Right now, as the main election in coming up sep. 09. Høyre want to count every single vote vs. every single vote.
    The reason that is b/c The Capital, Oslo(same size as Gaza strip) got 3 times the population as the largest region, Finnmark. 1 vote in Finnmark is 3 times as strong as 1 in Oslo.


    Oslo, 52 000/1 seat -
    - Total 856,915 (2,008 population)
    - Total 454 km2 (175.3 sq mi)
    - Land 426 km2 (164.5 sq mi)
    Finnmark, 14 500/1seat -
    - Total 72,560 (2008 population)
    - Total 48,618 km2 (18,771.5 sq mi)
    - Land 45,757 km2 (17,666.9 sq mi)
    Hard to explain, but I hope you get it

    Do your country count every single vote vs. vote?
    Or do you seperate them into regions?
    Do you have super votes?

    Btw: I will promise you that Frp will cry on TV during this day. Fragile people allways get stunned.

    Thorolf was thus armed. Then Thorolf became so furious that he cast his shield on his back, and, grasping his halberd with both hands, bounded forward dealing cut and thrust on either side. Men sprang away from him both ways, but he slew many. Thus he cleared the way forward to earl Hring's standard, and then nothing could stop him. He slew the man who bore the earl's standard, and cut down the standard-pole. After that he lunged with his halberd at the earl's breast, driving it right through mail and body, so that it came out at the shoulders; and he lifted him up on the halberd over his head, and planted the butt-end in the ground. There on the weapon the earl breathed out his life in sight of all, both friends and foes. [...] 53, Egil's Saga
    I must tell you here of some amusing tricks the Comte d'Eu played on us. I had made a sort of house for myself in which my knights and I used to eat, sitting so as to get the light from the door, which, as it happened, faced the Comte d'Eu's quarters. The count, who was a very ingenious fellow, had rigged up a miniature ballistic machine with which he could throw stones into my tent. He would watch us as we were having our meal, adjust his machine to suit the length of our table, and then let fly at us, breaking our pots and glasses.

    Norway doesn't have voting districts which partition the population roughly evenly? Very strange. In Germany, voting districts get re-zoned if the spatial distribution of the population changes a lot. Of course, you can't have a "perfect" zoning, otherwise you'd have to re-zone every election. But differences like the one you cited between Finnmark and Oslo - no, I don't think so. Besides, I don't understand how it works from your description and question. What do you mean by "123123..." and "special votes"???
    "The cheapest form of pride however is national pride. For it reveals in the one thus afflicted the lack of individual qualities of which he could be proud, while he would not otherwise reach for what he shares with so many millions. He who possesses significant personal merits will rather recognise the defects of his own nation, as he has them constantly before his eyes, most clearly. But that poor blighter who has nothing in the world of which he can be proud, latches onto the last means of being proud, the nation to which he belongs to. Thus he recovers and is now in gratitude ready to defend with hands and feet all errors and follies which are its own."-- Arthur Schopenhauer

    To count every single vote, then find the majority. Not by seperating votes into countys.
    Special votes= I heard the in america, they have super votes, who count the same as 1000+ others... hmmm....

    Well I live in a country that works with a federal system, it is a bicameral system, in one chamber there are 2 representatives from canton (state) and the other is 1 politician for every certain number of people in the canton.

    Belgium's electoral system is too complicated too explain, what with our 6 governments and all .
    Some day I'll actually write all the reviews I keep promising...

    Everyone votes for a party, then you take the number of votes for a certain party, divide it by the total number of votes and multiply it with 150 (the number of seats in the 'tweede kamer') and you have the number of seats a party has.
