Proportional Representation
Seats are distributed as proportionally as possible based on the vote results - 40% of the popular vote means getting 40% of the seats.

Pros:
+The most representative of the common electoral systems - the government makeup most closely matches the election results
+Allows for a large number of political parties with disparate views, thus ensuring voters have a wide choice of platforms and policies to choose from
+Most governments rule by coalition, which fosters compromise and negotiation
+More "stable" overall, since a drop of a few percentage points in the polls does not equate to dozens of seats lost.
+Virtually eliminates "strategic voting", since there is no benefit to voting "against" a disliked party.
+Very resistant to Gerrymandering
+The favoured system of discerning, intelligent, and attractive people

Cons:
-Can lack regional representation unless specifically addressed
-Tends to favour smaller parties (which can give influence to fringe or extremist politics, particularly if a small party winds up as a "kingmaker" in a coalition)
