Parliamentary systems don’t imply proportional representation necessarily. Commonwealth nations like Canada and the UK use the Westminster system, and use a first past the post system derived from that tradition for example. It simply depends on the country and who decided on the details of the electoral system.

It’s absolutely ridiculous that this is even legal.
It’s technically not.
Politicians shouldn’t be allowed to draw the district borders in the first place. It’s a clear conflict of interest.
Is this a serious suggestion? I’m having a hard time thinking how it would work. I’m guessing each person can vote for every representative “slot”?
Like how Parliaments work - proportional vote.
56% R, 39% D, 4% I = 16 Republican representatives, 11 Democratic representatives, 2 independent representatives.

Both parties create an ordered list of candidates and then they get seats from the top as many as they need based on their statewide votes.
Wyoming might have something to say about that…
