I come through this while reading The President.

Comments

  • Number of seats of a political party is equal to their share in total votes.
    If BJP gets 45% total votes polled then in parliament it will get 45% of seats
  • Proportional Representation is the method of choosing representatives to the Rajya Santa.
    Here, the seats to the RS are decided proportionally to the total Population of the State. By this way, the units of the State are properly represented in the Council of States.
