I'd rather minority support lead to minority government than giving an artificial majority to a government with only a plurality of support.
Minority government might promote parties funding each other's pet projects, but what about a majority funding its own pet projects? I'd also argue that highly regionalized representation leads to pork, and rep-by-pop does away with that.
