@chris You missed 1984 John Turner, 2 mo.I think what people argue against isn't so much PR but minority governments and weak coalitions. For the record, I don't side with them on that argument, but I think that's the issue - as demonstrated by what happens in a FPTP system when the government doesn't hold a majority and the opposition is gunning to force an election.My counter-argument is that a lot of the impetus to take down a minority government in a FPTP system is the understanding that, due to FPTP, the opposition stands a solid chance at forming government. You're either government or your not, with no need to play nice with anybody else.Also, funny enough, I've been seeing a lot of merit in 'governance by random lottery' lately. Even random chance fairs better in my head than FPTP.
