  • There's probably no perfect solution, but some form of PR, probably STV, would be my preference. It's more democratic than FPTP, and it is also unlikely that extreme parties would get many 2nd pref votes. Can't say I don't like the idea of everybody voting, but not sure I could stretch to making it compulsory! I still get a slight thrill from voting (although usually followed by bitter disappointment).

  • STV isn't proportional representation, it's just a fairer type of "winner-takes-all" system than FPTP.

    I see your point, but I think it is PR in that seats are distributed according to share of the vote.
