I'm cool with the 'Alternative Vote' but not PR. PR allows for too much instability, when at best the benefit to PR is to allow bats**t crazy minority parties a taxpayer sponsored platform to spew their idiocy, at worst you could have one-issue parties claiming the balance of power on key votes on issues that were outside of their platform.
