I support some sort of proportional [PR] system because it gives most voters a voice in the legislature. I believe the the pitfalls of proportional systems -- too many parties and deadlocked minority governments -- can be avoided by having a minimum requirement of a percentage of votes required to get a seat (5-10%) and by modifing the legislature rules to allow minority governments to function more easily.
