    The referendum wasn’t on whether or not we wanted Proportional Representation.

    It was do you want the current system or do you want to go over to STV. PR was never on the table.

    STV is basically the exact same issue we currently have but slightly more complicated it doesn’t really solve anything.

      Is there a specific proposal for PR? What does that look like? Abolishing constituencies entirely or merging them in fives or something and voting proportionally within that or something else entirely?

        That why Mixed PR, or even better Ranked Mixed PR, would be an easier switch, as well a better system than pure PR.
