Book excerpt: This book attempts to present the facts about the Hare-Clark system in an unbiased manner. In so doing it hopes to set out for Tasmanians and a wider readership the history of Tasmania's unique electoral experiment. Also it hopes to spark interest and generate discussion regarding the factors which surround the riddle that is Hare-Clark. This is attempted by placing Hare-Clark in a wider general context of what an electoral system in supposed to achieve, and by presenting the structural elements set in place by the Parliament to control the system. Readers will find information here which covers the impact of the Hare-Clark system on the membership of the House of Assembly, and of course election results are presented for those interested in the final data of these elections. But readers will also find plenty to digest concerning the consequences of the Hare-Clark system, not least as to whether or not the system favours Independents.
