Transcript | Switzerland since 1891. Nine Out of twenty-two cantons (states), and many cities such as Zurich, Basel, Geneva, Berne, et al. Belgium since 1900. Here proportional representation has had its widest application. It applies to all general elections. Sweden since 1909. Finland since 1906. Denmark. Holland. Tasmania. Germany—in many of the South German Cities.
