Add 62 seats to the Parliament to make it a nice 400 seats
Distribute the new seats based on the % of votes each party got to make the results as proportional as possible, they're distributed to the party leader first (if they didn't get elected in their riding) then to the candidates with the highest % of vote in their riding.
Ta-fucking-da, no need to change the way people vote, it's all done behind the scene!
Isn't this basically how MMP works?
Most MMP systems have two separate votes, one local, one for a party, but yes it's a form of MMP but it doesn't involve changing the way people vote at the moment.
You're hired!
