EFECTOS DE LA BARRERA DEL SUB-COCIENTE EN LA ELECCIÓN DE DIPUTADOS

Abstract

It is shown how the sub-quotient constitutes a barrier that has produced in the last eight elections a parliament that concentrated the representation on the political
parties that obtained the largest number of votes, discriminating against the weaker ones. If revoked the composition of the parliament will better represent the preferences
of voters. The distortion of the electoral preferences in the last eight elections reached its peak in the 2006 general elections. It is hypothesized that the legislative
disproportionality will set a favorable background for civil disturbance to arise.
