What do you dislike about the common proportional representation models?

  My dislike is that they involve political parties. Which after religions are roots of all evils. I would just go with open list of candidates. The most voted candidates in order get the seats. Some argue that there would be wasted votes on most popular candidates but to me it sounds like voters got exactly what they wanted.

    Interesting. I know that some smaller jurisdictions in the US (cities and counties) run non-partisan primaries and elections. Have party-less elections been done at the national level anywhere? Did they not result in de-facto party competitions? Curious to know where and read up.

    Agree, it's mainly about the break in the direct relationship between the voters and their elected representative.
