This guy claims that proportional representation is undemocratic and uses primary votes (first past the post, a truly undemocratic system that favors bigger parties) to prove his point. He then calls it gerrymandering against all known definitions of the word (boundaries are set by an independent commission).
He goes on to say an unconventional approach (no electoral boundaries) is better and the politicians are guilty of not adopting it out of self interest, even though no one has seriously proposed or considered it, and in Australia this would have essentially no support in the electorate (Australians having no problem with their system).
Anyone can make outrageous claims to promote their blog, why is this getting any attention.
