The explanatory statement to the draft law No. 123 refers to the fact that mixed electoral systems exist in different countries, such as Germany, Hungary, Lithuania and Japan. While it is certainly true that experiences from other states can provide valuable insights when considering a reform of the electoral system, comparative law arguments should be used with caution. State institutions and legislative arrangements function within a specific legal, political and cultural context. The presumption that institutional and legislative arrangements can be easily transplanted between legal systems and produce comparable results has often proven false. Moreover, there is a variety of mixed systems that may have different effects on the way citizen interests are represented and more generally on democratic development. The system considered here provides for a parallel application of the first-past-the-post and of the proportional systems, while, for example, the German electoral system (often called “personalised proportional representation”) provides for compensatory seats and therefore for the final result to be more proportional.
