I am not against electoral reform, but I don't see what it accomplishes exactly.

Proportional representation seems very strange, where the part chooses who will actually get seats, the people just get to choose how many of those choices are actually put into office. This means I have less say in who I elect than I do now.

On the other hand, it means that is 5% of the population supports a fringe party, then they have 5% of the say in what goes on in the country (which won't mean much, but its something). I like this idea very much, even if it will mean more compromise is needed in the HoC.

Just need to figure out how to get around the first point.

edit: Ranked ballots seem like a bad idea, unless it can work with only a single ballot, which as I understand it isn't really possible for an accurate result. Feel free to correct me on that though.
