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.
