threshold
The electoral threshold, or election threshold, is the minimum share of the primary vote which a candidate or political party requires to achieve before they become entitled to any representation in a legislature. This limit can operate in various ways, e.g. in party-list proportional representation systems where an electoral threshold requires that a party must receive a specified minimum percentage of votes (e.g. 5%), either nationally or in a particular electoral district, to obtain any seats in the legislature. In multi-member constituencies using preferential voting, besides the electoral threshold, to be awarded a seat, a candidate is also required to achieve a quota, either on the primary vote or after distribution of preferences, which depends on the number of members to be returned from a constituency.
The effect of an electoral threshold is to deny representation to small parties or to force them into coalitions, with the presumption of rendering the election system more stable by keeping out fringe parties. Proponents say that simply having a few seats in a legislature can significantly boost the profile of a fringe party and that providing representation and possibly veto power for a party that receives only 1% of the vote not be appropriate; however, critics posit that in the absence of a ranked ballot system, supporters of minor parties are effectively disenfranchised and denied the right of representation by someone of their choosing.
Two boundaries can be defined—a threshold of representation is the minimum vote share that might yield a party a seat under the most favorable circumstances for the party, while the threshold of exclusion is the maximum vote share that could be insufficient to yield a seat under the least favorable circumstances. Lijphart suggested calculating the informal threshold as the mean of these.
I'm looking for solid answer or opinion. We had some windows removed on an exterior wall and replaced them with a sliding door. The frame is quite high so I'm going to do a transition that is not even. What is my best option to make this sound and visually appealing? I first thought about using...
I have just had my bathroom floor tiled which opens up to a landing. The landing is being carpeted but the tiler has tiled all the way to the door threshold which means when a tile to carpet plate is fitted that the overhang on the plate sits firmly in the hall and can clearly be seen (about a...

Hi there,
First-time poster. We're tiling a kitchen area and laying solid oak flooring in the living area. There will be a boundary between wood and porcelain tiles curved in an 'S' shape (see attached sketch). I know the wood needs space to expand so the tiles can't meet up and touch the wood...

Hi
We are just near the end of getting our bathroom refurbed by a local plumber. The tiler he used did a good job overall, but left the threshold with a 7mm rise on the left had side versus the right. Now when the plumber tries to fit the threshold z-bar to the carpet, on one side it is flush...
Going to soon start tiling our open-plan kitchen/dining area, which has a large sliding door along one wall. I'm using 600x600 porcelain. The plan was to get the top of the floor tiles flush with the top of the sliding door cill to create a seamless transition from inside to out (decking on the...

Hi all
I have previously bought a deep silver coloured threshold for carpet to engineered wood floor.

Hi all,
Can anyone recommend a product or alternative way to finish a 25mm depth at a door threshold?
Tiling onto overboarded floorboards which when it gets to the doorway needs a bar or something else that can ramp down to the floorboards as there is no other flooring (i.e. Carpet/laminate)...
Bit stumped on this one. Just about finished tiling bathroom. However, the corridor floor is yet to be done and, therefore, finished height is unknown. It's probably going to be a floating timber floor but materials have yet to be bought. Any suggestions on how to finish the threshold? I don't...

Hi All.
Every time I install underfloor heating under tiles I have a problem with finding metal door bars to match the rest of the house because of the height difference which is usually about 30mm from top of tile to underside of carpet.
Once I've fitted the (10mm) insulation boards plus...
