It is important to me that the number of seats in the legislature reflects the way votes are cast. I have not studied the various methods of structuring proportional representation but would favour one that best allows for representation of the full diversity of the people and therefore actully gives a voice to persons in minority. Currently only those who are a significant mass can feel represented, and all others become disenfranchised. I believe that in the long run there would be an increase in the ability of the politians to consider all of the citizens and come to creative solutions to problems and am willing to live with the transition period of disarray until they learn that cooperation is a better life choice than disrespect and antagonism.
