Solution

failed

The answer is: win legislative seats even though they do not receive a majority of votes in elections.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Advertise on television: Proportional representation systems do not inherently provide television advertising opportunities. This is more related to campaign finance laws and media regulations.

  2. Share in patronage appointments: While patronage can be a feature of political systems, it is not a direct result of proportional representation. Patronage is more about political appointments and rewards, not the electoral system itself.

  3. Win legislative seats by lottery: Proportional representation does not involve winning seats by lottery. It allocates seats based on the proportion of votes received.

  4. Win legislative seats even though they do not receive a majority of votes in elections: This is correct. Proportional representation allows parties to gain seats in proportion to the number of votes they receive, even if they do not achieve a majority.

  5. Receive campaign funds from government in proportion to their support in opinion polls: This is not a feature of proportional representation. Campaign funding is typically determined by specific laws and regulations, not directly by the electoral system.
