No form of government will ever be perfect. But while the coalitions and alliances of a parliament elected by a proportional representation system can change rapidly from election to election, it's actually the same system that ensures stability in terms of policies. Since no party holds an absolute majority, all decisions end up being compromises, and therefore progress is dulled. I am only arguing from the side of perspective of a democracy. There is something rewarding as a voter to feel that one's vote actually matter. I doubt a Republican voting for President in California feels their vote makes any difference. But as a form of government? Then proportional representation doesn't scale well, which is why I am only recommending it for your state legislatures, not nation-wide. The European Parliament is proportional represented but divided by constituencies, which in a lot of cases are just the member states, but member states are permitted to divide themselves into constituencies.[1] All I am saying is, I do find it cringe-worthy when Americans refer to their system as 'democracy'. It's not even representational democracy, it's pseudo-representational democracy at best. Because if it truly was a representational democracy, then shouldn't D.C. or Porto Rico be represented at the federal level like everyone else? The US is a Republic, and that's fine with me. Just don't pretend otherwise. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Parliament_constituency https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Parliament_constituen...
