    I am not familiar with Irish politics. Is the number of seats in your legislative body derived by proportionality of winning per party or is it winner take all on a regional basis.

    The could go with Labour and Social Democratic Party. Might be popular, especially in the universities. There would be a queue a mile look for the LSD Party stand at freshers week.

    Being Irish I can advise that they are awarded proportionally within 40 regions using the 'Single Transferable Vote' system
