The government of Quebec is now backing a proposed change in provincial elections. The government favors of Mixed Proportional Representation system, in which two-thirds of the seats would continue to be elected in single-member districts, but the other third would be chosen proportionately. See this story.
I’m not following if this is actually mixed-member proportional or a parallel voting system. Mixed-member would see a party vote determine the total seats per party and then subtract the riding seats from those totals. Whereas a parallel system would see 80 seats determined by plurality single member and then a separate proportional vote for the other 45. Parallel is like having two chambers one with 80 seats and then one with 45 seats elected separately and then sticking them together, so Parallel is only semi-proportional. Parallel is what Russia uses.
