Zusatztext I think there are at least two key contributions of this book. The first is simply as a huge exercise in data gathering and in meticulous documentation of often very subtle, nuanced changes in electoral systems, from which we can start to see a pattern emerging.

I think the other is showing there has been this tendency towards greater personalisation of electoral system, trying to see the causes ofthat, and also looking for evidence of the consequences.
