Abstract: Abstract In the previous chapter Moshé Machover distinguished between two kinds of representative assemblies, each of which can be elected by using either a deter- ministic or a probabilistic voting procedure: 7 1. A PR assembly which is a microcosm of the entire electorate and where every member represents an ideologically homogeneous but geographically dispersed constituency. Machover argues– and I agree – that the only way to obtain such an assembly by using a deterministic voting procedure is to use the closed list system procedure.
