I like how the Guardian still talks about things like a "hung parliament", which are clearly only a thing in FPTP systems, when discussing the effects a transition to various PR electoral systems would have on Britain. Old habits die hard, it seems

These visualisations from exclusive polling modelling show how the UK parliament could change under different voting systems

Fascination new results on voter perceptions of the cordon sanitaire against the AfD. Bottom line: many CDU/CSU voters favour collaborating with the AfD on a case-by-case basis over maintaining the full cordon. This has clear implications for government formation in Eastern German states in the fall
