I believe proportional representation, in whatever form is

I believe proportional representation, in whatever form is
deemed most effective, is the best way to engage thousands of
disenfranchised youth and other voters. Many people have stopped
voting because their vote is not reflected in the outcome of our
elections. This can only endanger democracy, and leave it in the
hands of a few instead of the treasure of us all. Coalition
governments may not be efficient or quick, but they are the
frequent by-product of the voters' will. They force us to work
together, so perhaps that is a lesson we have waited far too long
to learn.
