뉴질랜드의 연동형비례대표제에 관한 비교법적 분석- 20대 총선결과 시뮬레이션을 중심으로 -

In terms of political phenomena, high-cost political structure, arbitrary decision-making behavior by some forces, and undemocratic party nominations have stuck, bringing the people's confidence in the National Assembly and political parties to a minimum. Voters, too, tend to take part in hegemonic regionalism to vote in regions by political parties, and on the other hand, are indifferent to politics. As a result, the people's opinions are distorted and represented. It is the interlocking proportional representation system that is presented as a powerful solution to this series of crisis of representative democracy. Under the current system of the majority representation of small constituencies, it is essential that a large number of resignations occur in local constituencies in the form of winners' self-righteousness, and even the proportionality between the number of votes and the distribution of seats will be equal. The problem is a common phenomenon that can be seen in the adoption of a simple majority of the small constituency system, not an essential error of the Korean electoral system. However, with the participation of voting behavior following regional hegemonism, the election result lost support and balance of the people's political parties and led to the decline in the democratic legitimacy of the leader. The reason why the interlocking proportional representation system is mentioned as a solution to this pathological phenomenon is that it is accompanied by the election of figures, but proportional elections are centered, thus maintaining a high proportionality between the party's winning rate and the distribution of seats. New Zealand, which has experienced a democratic crisis similar to our present one, changed its electoral system from a small constituency system to a German-style, interlocked proportional representation system through a referendum in 1993. This paper is a simulation analysis result of applying the results of the 20th general elections to the three models following the change in the number of lawmakers under the New Zealand-style interlocking proportional representation system. Unlike Germany, the electoral system in New Zealand does not consist of proportional representation elections being carried out on a state-by-state basis, but in a single constituency across the country. In particular, it considered matters concerning the occurrence of a resignation slip, the degree of excess, the establishment of a blockade clause, and the recommendation of candidates for proportional representation based on the method of preparing the party list by the national unit.
