I believe it would lead to a more democratic gov. I voted for STV [Single Transferable Vote],similar to PR, in the B.C. election plebisite but it only got 57% and needed 60%. I like minority gov.s as it requires more co-operation. In our system of First Past the Post a majority results in a 4 yr. dictatorship. Ireland ,I believe is an example of the STV system.
