Duverger's law vs. Proportional representation

In political science, Duverger's law holds that plurality-rule elections (such as first past the post) structured within single-member districts tend to favor a two-party system, whereas "the double ballot majority system and proportional representation tend to favor multipartism". Proportional representation (PR) characterizes electoral systems by which divisions into an electorate are reflected proportionately into the elected body.
