I have lived in a country with proportional representation (Sweden), and two without (UK, US), and i am working in one with PR (Netherlands). IMHO it seems to me that PR creates a better democracy as sections of society aren't so easily shut off from power as in non-PR countries. First past the post systems seem to create governments with often a marginal lead in votes but a massive majority in parliment. In the Netherlands and Sweden the governments are nearly always formed as coalitions, not by a single party. This seems to me to create a better democracy. A better representation of the vote albeit not perfect by any means. The biggest problem seems to be that virtually no party seem interested in creating a better democratic system. They are just interested in skewing the system for their own short term powergrab.
