### Proportional Representation
* Half of the seats determined by provincial lists
<notes>
* = vote for party, party gets seats according to share of votes
* half of seats by voting on national lists, other half on provincial lists
* disadvantage: provinces quite large (9) → not really local
* possible disadvantage: no threshold → many small parties (not important,
why: next step)

### Domination of the ANC
* Historic Events
* Charismatic Leaders
* Constitutional Rules
Possible threat: Higher GDP per capita and education could be linked to voting
DA.
<notes>
* Historic: ANC is seen as party of liberation as its the first
democraticratically elected party
* Leaders: Nelson Mandela was a member of the ANC. His popularity helps the
ANC.
* Constitution: No (really) local representatives → regional parties cannot
gain many seats
