> A party with less than 10% vote rate can not have it's members in the parliament, which eventually let them occupy more that 50% of the 550 quota of the number of parliamentarians.

Actually it's not a bug, if they would allow smaller parties they would have 10,20,50 parties in there, some with only one person. It would be a mess - hard to make any decision.

I believe 10% leaves out a huge amount of votes, esp. in Turkey where exists 45 million voters and 60 parties. 5% or less would be a better choice.
