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.

See, the thing is... you want majority governments. They get things done, they ensure proper decorum in the House. That's the beauty of FPTP, it translates strong pluralities into strong majorities. Everyone still gets to fight the same election. You lose, it's mostly your fault.
