Does proportional representation lead to fragmentation? Below plotted the effective number of parties vs. disproportionality measured by the Gallagher index. No general trend is apparent. Instead, some clusters of countries are visible:
I really like how @vdeminstitute's 2024 report has weighed their Liberal Democracy Index in a bunch of different ways.

Heute ist ein extrem schlechter Tag für die #Demokratie. Im #Bundestag stimmten soeben Ampel & Union für eine #Sperrklausel für #Europawahlen. Sie vernichten damit mehrere Millionen Stimmen und umgehen Entscheidungen vom Verfassungsgericht. Gelten wird sie erst ab 2029. (1/2)
