re: A Democracy is suppose to be representative of the population, which ours is very, very, very far from being.

We were never a Democracy, always a Republic.

re: If you believe in the reality of people being represented, then a percent-based allocation system is natural to that belief.

If you do it by parties, yes that is relatively simple to implement. But if you do it by other categories, I can't imagine what that system would look like.

And for either you would have to amend the constitution, a high hurdle.
