Presumably you have to suck up to the present party leader to get to the top of the list, so instead of a healthy mix of different views within a party you get a homogenous bunch of yes men.
Your "healthy mix of views within a party" translates to me as "how the flip am I supposed to know whether I can support this party when they can't make their own minds up about what they stand for?"Last edited by Peoplesoft bloke; 21 June 2022, 13:17.Leave a comment:

Originally posted by malvolio View PostRegardless of how you do PR, its weakness is either you end up with a totalitarian government (unlikely but possible) or one that is dependent on coalitions which are inherently unstable.
At least FPTP gives a government with a clear mandate and a united opposition.
