The literature suggests the election, the three objectives, namely the election of political representation, political integrity and effective government, each of which are not mutually reinforcing, but in fact mutually exclusive. This means that if a country's political representation as to prioritize goals, difficult elections produce an effective government, might actually lead to political divisions.

If the state put forward the political integrity, the elections could maintain political stability, but many groups are discriminated against. Government could have been stronger, but the control does not occur, so that corruption is rampant. Similarly, the effective prioritization of government goals, will cause dissatisfaction many groups that are not represented, so Political stability is also very vulnerable. Look at the political implications of any goals set, then the designer or maker election electoral law, a serious effort should discuss setting goals to be achieved from the election that he designed. The discussion should involve all stakeholders, and ensuring that the goals a priority. In determining the primary purpose, they must base themselves on the political realities of the moment, considering the constitutional provisions, and equally important set of political vision to be achieved in the future. The debate is based on the political realities would normally long-winded, because each political force felt should defend its interests. But they should be aware, that the existing political realities will not continue to survive, so it is a necessity of change and arrangement. This is where the importance of the designers of the election law had a political vision of the future. It could be a vision that goes beyond what the Constitution prescribed, but they do not have to worry because as a political product, the constitution can be changed, if indeed hinder the achievement of political vision. Of course changes can be made gradually.Once the main objectives set, the next discussion will be easier, because the science of elections for the experience of many developing countries, providing a wide range of formulas that can be used to achieve these goals. Elections in essence is how the people's voice is converted into seats. Because it concerns the number of votes and number of seats, the formulation is not a difficult thing, even mathematical formula can be found. If the priority of political representation, it is proportional electoral system. With this system, then almost all political forces have the opportunity to sit in parliament. Most perfectly proportioned when applied at the national level, such as in the Netherlands and Israel. In the two countries, if the party won 40% of the sound, then certainly his seat in parliament is also 40%. Because nearly every party had a seat, then the number of parties in parliament quite a lot; could be dozens or even two dozen. If there is no dominant party, it is difficult to form a government. Coalition change often, so politically unstable, frequently changing government, and certainly not effective. If in the Netherlands and Israel, political instability not to interfere with social and economic life of everyday, it is more because of the state apparatus (bureaucracy, police and army) can walk without government.
