    95% of the vote counts instead 40%, the two main parties have stiffer competition, more accountability in politics, the government listens to the populace more, better climate action, minorities are better represented, stronger economic growth, healthcare performs better than in first-past-the-post/autocratic societies.

    I think this post is missing a body.

      Hmm, I didn’t intend to add a body.

          Why not? We have lots of new people in this community. And the content could also be shared to other places.

            Are you asking a question? Or is this post just a general discussion?

              I had intended to spark general discussion, or to be shared elsewhere by others.

                In that case, a title like “What are the best benefits of proportional representation?” might have been more effective.
