Re: Proportional Representation.
Couldn't agree more on the PR thing. We have had a form of PR here in NZ for several terms now, which is structured so that it is very unlikely that any one party could ever get a majority of seats, so some form of coalition is the order of the day. Even worse as we do not have any upper house.
Basically all that happens is the representatives of the dimwit portion of the population get to have too much to say in parliament. Nice for those who think government is all about everyone and their dog and cat having their say, no matter how stupid, examining the roots of the onion until it dies and nothing happens or silly compromises are made to resurrect it. But certainly not good government and very encouraging of alliances made in hell.
