The specific feature of the single member constituency system is that it secures a stable majority in the legislature. In this system, each geographical area is represented by only one elected representative. This means that the candidate who wins the most votes in that constituency becomes the representative for that area. As a result, the system tends to produce a clear majority in the legislature, with one party or candidate having the most seats. This can lead to more stable governance as decisions can be made more efficiently without needing to consider the views and opinions of multiple parties or representatives. The other options in the question are not specific to the single member constituency system.
