Abstract

Proportional representation [PR] is the only way to
go. The current system is clearly unfair,
fails to represent the wishes of most people, and tends
to cause us to be constantly boomeranging back and forth between
ideologies. [1 page]

I believe that proportional representation is the only way to
go. This system is clearly unfair and failing to
represent the wishes of most people and tends to cause us to be
constantly boomeranging back and forth between ideologies, most of
which appear to become dominated by corporate interest due to the
influence of money on campaigns. The
proportional representative system tends to lead to more
cooperation and less power struggles because the parties involved
realize they will have to negotiate between themselves because they
will be working together over the long haul representing the people
who elected them.
