I believe the majority of the democracies in the world right now are proportional representation systems. Minority gov'ts can get things accomplished and compromise is not a bad thing IMO. Majorities are a lot scarier than minorities.
PR is the way to go IMO. First past the post is a broken system that promotes 2 large parties. The Conservatives will now have a majority without securing the majority of votes. They have around 40% of the popular vote. How does that make any sense?
