I am familiar with Parliamentary systems of 5 countries (Britain & former colonies) and they are mostly geographic, to my knowledge. Each Members of Parliament is voted in by voters residing within a geographic region/ward.

Interesting... looks like a lot of countries with parliamentary systems use proportional instead of geographic representation... but not the UK or Canada. Today I learned.

And some countries manage to achieve proportional representation while still giving each district their own choice of representative (e.g. Mixed-Member Proportional Representation in Germany and New Zealand).
