Yes, the more proportional the system gets, the greater the number of viable parties there are going to be. That means there will be alternative new associations capturing new interests that may proceed, because now there's a realistic chance for them either directly to penetrate the system or by forming coalitions with other organizations to do so. So the answer is yes, I would certainly see a greater partisan fragmentation and proliferation of parties if a more proportional system were adopted. The more proportional the system that's adopted is, the more I think that would be the case.
