Research summary
A research on election systems I am researching election systems with a focus on the system of the United Kingdom. I have considered the historical development of the logical structure of constituency system theories such as first-past-the-post system and proportional-representation system, the problems caused by the first-past-the-post system and the two-party system, and the change in the form of election campaign due to the emergence of the mass media and the problems caused by it so far. I am attempting to investigate how to realize self-government by the people who have sovereignty authority under the circumstances that can be called "limited election" due to the emergence of the people including the working poor who cannot afford to be interested in politics and elections on the premise of a bigger problem than the election system.
