I don't like ranked ballots, as some have said look at the APC party.

From what I have see of proportional representation it eventually creates small fractured parties that have too little power to get stuff done. And then there is the Huge problem of how pick the MPs once a party is told they have 11 seats to fill, It would remove the electorates power to vote a bad candidate out of government, we would have to trust the parties to do that.

I actually think slightly following the American Model of separate ballots for the legislative and executive positions is a more logical way of doing it. But that would require complete constitutional reform and a completely new division of power.
