An election can be identified as a formal organized process by which candidates are chosen for political office by means of a vote, an electoral system is therefore the process of translating votes in seats (Norris, 1997: 299). Elections are held in order to provide a means of choosing representatives in a country, they ensure accountability where the legitimate (those who win the elections) rule the country. This essay will reflect on how the use of proportional representation for parliamentary elections is more effective than a majority system because this electoral system is more inclusive of all the diverse groups in the country. Furthermore, in line with Blais and Norris, I will discuss whether a majoritarian system is more stable than a proportional system in the context of South Africa's stability and political stability. However, while it is preferable to remain in a representative electoral system, changes within that system, or even a hybrid system, could be more helpful in creating a more accountable and representative government for South African democracy. The two electoral systems constitute the majority system. and the proportional system (Norris, 1997: 299). A majority representative operates on a winner-takes-all basis (Norris, 1997: 301), while in contrast, proportional representative is based on the distribution of parliamentary seats which is determined by the proportions of votes obtained, cast in percentages (Lottie, 2012). Majority systems are the oldest and most widely used system. According to Norris, this system is the simplest to implement and the most traditional, where its main objective is “effective governance” (Norris, 1997: 301). Majority systems can either be p...... middle of document ......l be full representation and inclusiveness, the lack of inclusiveness had led the previous regime to be plunged into crisis (the regime of apartheid), furthermore, this inclusiveness will include all races and genders, as demonstrated by DA leader Helen Zille. Furthermore, coalitions can also be seen as an advantage in South Africa, as they ensure greater representativeness and inclusion of interests (de Jager, 2014). Smaller parties can also bring different values ​​and ideas, including Agang, which also puts pressure on larger national parties such as the ANC, to be more accountable and inclusive, particularly taking into account due to the fact that South Africa has a dominant party system, where one party dominates over a long period of time (de Jager, 2014). Thus, a hybrid system is ideal to integrate both system advantages in South Africa and new democracies..
