Lai let CGP Grey help you understand.



In Singapore, PM is the weasel.

Watch his other videos on better electoral systems. NZ uses the MMP while Australia uses Alternative Voting.

Remember, LHL aced his math. He got computing expertise to understand all these voter behaviour.

New Zealand's MMP system.



Australia's Alternative Voting system.



As in the post above, PAP since they are the incumbent are carving out territories for safe elections. Safe for them that is.

Alternative vote method can eliminate the NCMP post.

EXAMPLE(by no means represents the real situation and there are many other methods of changing the boundry):
The GRC in question got 4 main areas. A,B,C,D
Lets say each area only 10 people live in them

the results of GE 2011 is
ruling/opp
A: 7/3
B: 6/4
C: 3/7
D: 6/4
Total = 22/18
ruling won the GRC

For GE 2015 the predication is
ruling/opp
A: 6/4
B: 6/4
C: 1/9
D: 6/4
Total = 19/21
OMFG opp would win the whole GRC

To cut loses, the ruling cut away area C into a SMC
ruling/opp
A: 6/4
B: 6/4
D: 6/4
Total = 18/12
ruling would win the GRC (3 seats)
C: 1/9
opp would only win the SMC (only 1 seat)
