Proportionality of Electoral Systems - Seat Bonus
Seat Bonus is the difference between percentage vote and seats allocated by electoral systems.
Traditionally the larger parties, have benefitted from a seat bonus, although when the tide is out for a party e.g. Fianna Fail (2011) it is a negative bounce, but when the tide is with a party e.g. 1992 seats are picked up by parties who are transfer attractive.
