US President with a Parliamentary System
Jul 19, 2019
Yesterday's post looked into who would win the European Commission Presidency if the EU had an electoral college. Today's post flips the script and looks at who would be President, or rather, Prime Minister if the US had a parliamentary system. The map above shows which party would have the most seats in each state with a total of 435 seats and 218 needed to win. Since so many states came so close, they split the seats between Democrats and Republicans. In addition, three other parties make it into parliament, with the Libertarians, the Greens, and Utah's independent candidate Evan McMullin also gaining seats.
