这篇文章表明，在大多数半民主国家，同样的解决方案可能不那么有利于少数群体。许多半民主国家要么限制政党竞争，要么限制少数民族政党，包括：阿塞拜疆、格鲁吉亚、哈萨克斯坦、吉尔吉斯斯坦、卡梅伦、赤道几内亚、坦桑尼亚、加蓬、肯尼亚、毛里塔尼亚和刚果(布)。本文强调了选举制度的影响以及在这种情况下政治多元化和选区设计的重要性。文章认为，如果少数族裔能够在种族单一的小选区选举自己的代表，他们的利益就会得到最好的保护。多数或多数投票制度为少数族裔提供了与独立候选人竞选的可能性。本文对2006年格鲁吉亚混合选举制度下的市政议会选举的案例研究似乎反映了假设的模式。
This article suggests that in most semi-democracies, the same solution might not be that favourable to minorities. Many semi-democratic countries either restrict party competition or limit parties of ethnic minorities, including: Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kirgistan, Cameron, Equatorial Guinea, Tanzania, Gabon, Kenya, Mauritania, and Congo (Brazzaville). This article highlights the impact of the electoral system and the importance of political plurality and electoral district design in such contexts. The article argues that the interests of minorities are best protected if they can elect their representatives in small, ethnically homogeneous electoral districts. Plurality or majority voting systems offer minorities the possibility to run with independent candidates. The case study in this article elections to municipal councils in Georgia in 2006 under a mixed electoral system seem to reflect the hypothesized pattern.
