Paragraph 25
 

This system is complex, and therefore may find practical difficulties; for example, given that the constituencies are formed with an approximately equal number of voters, there may be candidates not elected with more ballots than others with fewer ballots, but higher percentage.  Nevertheless, this could maintain a closer link between voters and Deputies, which may be important for the legitimacy of the whole system.  In quantitative terms, 450 constituencies, and consequently Deputies, for a country with over 37,000,000 registered electors means each constituency would have about 80-85,000 voters.
