Article title should be changed to "party-list" from "sectoral representation"

Per WP:COMMONNAME article names should be common names not official or legal names. For instance, see the Big Dig for the Central Artery project in Boston. The common name is "party-list representatives" not "sectoral representatives". Everyone in the newspapers and even the parties themselves refer to it as "party-list". Even Wikipedia use "party-list": Philippine House of Representatives party-list election, 2010. The article title should be changed to Party-list representatives. There is no need for a "Philippines" qualifier since no other articles exists using that title. --Bruce Hall (talk) 04:51, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Although I don't oppose on changing "Sectoral" to "party-list", I feel apprehensive on removing "of the Philippines" qualifier as "party-list representative" is also the term used in bodies that elect via Mixed-member proportional representation. –H T D 14:10, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Party-list is good, but do we need "House of Representatives". Why can't it be "Party-list representation in the Philippines"? --Iloilo Wanderer (talk) 02:31, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Too much math and not enough analysis

The party-list system is relatively new and so there hasn't been much analysis done. Now there has been. Perhaps we can cut back on the math -- on the many formulas -- and add in more third-party analysis. This I think would make it more readable. I think that all the formulas make the article rather long. Maybe they can be separated out into a separate article or a link to an external page added. The article would then have space for some more analysis and criticism of the system. Who has gotten elected? From where? Unfortunately I don't have such handy. --Iloilo Wanderer (talk) 02:31, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The math is as important as the analysis, IMO. After all, the math determines who gets wins and who doesn't. The party-lists can game the system all they want but if they can't get over the math they can't screw with it. Coverage of the individual party-list orgs and elections are wanting so if anyone can help please do so. –H T D 07:51, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
