Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper moves on from that observation with two principal aims in mind. First, we seek to establish the basis of the supposed advantages of MMP over all other systems, which as shall be shown, proves difficult because the basis of that advantage simply is not very clear. Second, we explore areas where electoral systems research in the next generation might move forward from the old chestnut of proportionality. The map ofscholarly opinion towards electoral systems has some very well-defined topography over certain issues (notably proportionality), but in other respects the map might as well include the phrase ‘here be dragons’, for there is much that remains unknown. Our expert survey draws out some areas of thought on electoral systems where our collective expertise is lacking; this paper uses the survey to set out those areas where we seem to need more research. Inevitably the questions of ‘what do we like about electoral systems?’ and ‘where to next in the study of electoral systems?’ overlap, and this paper weaves its way through both questions in a rather circuitous fashion. The place to begin, however, is with what we know: and what we know is proportionality.
