Aside from 2006, not much change over time. What has changed is the relative ability of one of the other parties to consolidate enough of the anti-PRI vote to win a plurality.
Year, Deps, Pres
1997, 39.1, –
2000, 36.9, 36.1
2003, 40.8, –
2006, 28.2, 22.3
2009, 43.7, –
2012, 38.0, 38.2
(PRI-PVEM from 2003)
That’s a mean of 37.8% (for Deputies).
So the answer to my question before the election–how big will the PRI’s comeback be?–is, not that big. Just a regression to its 15-year mean.

One of the few fans of the Mexican mixed system, the 2008 Uwais Commission in Nigeria, is still being discussed.
It proposed 468 seats of which 23% (108) would be filled by a parallel proportional system, with a cap: If a political party wins 70% of the 360 FPTP seats it should be excluded from benefiting from the Proportional Representation. That would be 252 of the 468 seats, about 54%. The Commission does not explain this number, but presumably it is intended to ensure a majority with a safety margin.
