Town with 100 people voting for 2 people running for president (one from each party) and 10 people for congress (5 from each party).

FPTP: Party 1 wins 51 votes and party 2 wins 49 votes, the entire government is controlled by people from party 1.

PP: Party 1 wins 51 votes and party 2 wins 49 votes, president is probably party 1 but congress would be 5 members from each party.
