The way the landscape is reshaping itself right now, there is no chance of a majority government in a PR based system. Absent other changes, you are ensuring that the Liberals and/or NDP could dictate policy against the wishes of, well, 75% of the population.

Not to hijack the thread, but you are right. You get a government that is more representative of the electorate, however the parties have to work together, which is challenging at best.
