Abstract

I support proportional representation [PR]. Any drawbacks it may
have, such as increasing the likelihood of minority governments,
are more than countered by its benefits, the main one being that
people feel that their votes count. [1 page]

I am very much for proportional representation. Any drawbacks it
may have, such as increasing the likelihood of minority
governments, are more than countered by its benefits, the main one
being that people feel that their votes count. This feeling of
meaningful participation is very important because it will very
likely lead to more and more people voting. It will help lead away
from the cynical view of politics that many people have.
