Firstly, PR creates minority governments something like 75% of the time... minority governments are unstable, as we have seen.

Well the minority governments formed under the current electoral system have proven to be unstable. This doesn't necessarily mean they would be unstable under the new system. One would have to look at why the current system can be unstable, what motivations there are for having a non-confidence vote, etc. Would be this be changed under a system that promotes more parties and less of a share for the biggest ones? Probably a debate for an entire thread
