Are there any studies that have been done correlating size of the electorate (or in general the population) to size of parliament and stability criteria? I was wondering which size of a parliament is scientifically deemed adequate.
I could not find any data on votes required per seat in national parliaments in relation to how well they are accepted and how stable they are. Does anybody have data to give at least a ball-park number on how many voters should be represented by one member of parliament?
