Strife is brewing in the animal kingdom! The citizens are demanding that the royal lions abdicate the thrown and implement a democracy! King Lion graciously steps down and leaves Queen Lion to implement the fiercely-demanded democracy.

We summarize the relative strengths and weaknesses of each system and explain key terms such as: gerrymandering and the spoiler effect.
