i say swears online posted:

why would any party not do this

the system is designed so that no matter how many list votes you get, you don't get many seats if you sweep the constituencies which is what happened

so they got 62 constituency seats, 41% of the list vote, and 2 list seats

Germany and New Zealand (and maybe other places idk) use the same system but they call it MMP instead of AMS. There are separate wikipedia articles for MMP vs. AMS and I have no idea why because I'm pretty sure they're exactly the same.
