Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) Voting system for electing a body of decision makers

State is divided in subregions. Subregions get reps proportional to population. Each citizen in subregion gets two votes, one for a rep, and one for a party. Reps from subregions elected by majority (39%, 33%, 24%, etc).

At state level, flat elected candidates are only 1/2 of body. Other half is filled in proportionally by 2nd vote aggregate across whole state, by party. Parties as organizations create pecking order for their fill-in reps.

Removes game theory. Allows parties to punish/reward candidates during process via pecking order. Is proportional.
