The McNamara Cascade Protocol
Proportionality Without Compromise, Representation Without Waste.
Democracy Works Best When Every Vote Counts
Elections should reflect the true will of the people, not artificial mathematical distortions or tactical voting traps. The McNamara Cascade Protocol (MCP) is a single-ballot electoral framework engineered to guarantee true legislative proportionality, eliminate wasted votes, and restore democratic legitimacy to our parliamentary chambers.
Core Electoral Principles
Near-Zero Distortion
Delivers an exceptionally low Gallagher Index (1.02%), ensuring that seats won in the legislature directly mirror the exact percentage of votes cast at the ballot box.
No Wasted Votes
Through its two-stage allocation mechanism, surplus and fractional votes cascade dynamically rather than being discarded, giving every voter a tangible stake in the final parliament.
Genuine Majorities
Ends artificial seat bonuses. Passing legislation and commanding a majority requires securing the genuine democratic consent of more than 50% of the voting public.
