Resumen

Systems of parliamentary representation are the base of the indirect democracy; where a group of representatives, chosen by means of an electoral process take decisions in the name of the citizens. The systems of traditional representation establish a distribution of the total number of representatives in quotas between different electoral districts, that have to be approximated because of the need to use whole numbers. This fact has given place to several types of dysfunctions in the System, in particular two have been widely analysed in the literature: the level of mal-apportionment and disproportionality. In this work, considering the measures established to quantify these effects, we development an analysis of the real Spanish Congress identifying the provinces prejudiced and benefited by these dysfunctions. At last, a brief study of the power index of the province is developed and an alternative distribution of the seats into the districts is considered.
