Proponents of PR like to spout off about the European nations experience with it. How many of those countries are going bankrupt? How much of the reasons for those unsustainable nations are attributable to untenable economic and monetary policies foisted on citizens by untenable and unmanageable governments with patchwork quilt PR governments with tens of different political parties all pulling in different directions?

Are you suggesting that a "majority" with only 40% of the popular vote is better than a majority with 50+%?

Why do people seem to fail to understand the idea that politics is the art of compromise? You push policies as close to your principles as you can but you have to acknowledge that since not everyone feels the way you do, your pure ideals will never be implemented.
