How the main answer changed
The MMP explanation changed, but its example incorrectly added list MPs on top of a party's total seat entitlement. That example is included in the checks against official sources.
The earlier answer had explained more about the threshold and published party lists. One wrong example does not grade every part of the answer.
The extracts compare the main Gemini answer on 19 and 23 October. Each opens the original answer from its own date. Other assistants' complete answers are available above.
