Actually, they were bang on for the national percentage, too. Usually not the case. Kudos to them.

Personally I don't like proportional representation, I feel it would lead to further fractionation of parliament. Something more along the line of a single transferable vote or a ranked ballot would be my preference.

STV and ranked ballots are generally considered variations of PR.
