Our resident psychic goes into the OPs past and comes back with this wonderful revelation.
Thank you so much you, oh wise sire.
For my part, I supported proportional representation back in '98, when we had a much different government. My stance hasn't changed for the reasons below..
Yes, but despite having the largest voter support, their vote for legislation can still be outweighed by the collective voting of the other 4 parties. Or they would take the time to revise their agenda to one that can be negotiated between all parties.
Which is very democratic.
With our current system, you'll have less compromise which wastes time and allows issues that should have been dealt with a long time ago to continue to linger.
Let's look at the gun registry as a perfect example.
This term - gun registry will be removed.
Next term - gun registry will be reinstated.
Following term - removed.
Etc.. etc..
With proportional rep., our more moderate government would be realized and they would reach some consensus on perhaps a laissez-faire registry. Or as me and Colpy compromised - guns for drugs.
