I'm very glad to hear thisFor some reason everyone seems to spunk over PR and I've never liked the idea. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one.
(Unless you refer to the Lib Dems. In which case... errr, I've only ever voted Lib Dem. :( I don't *like* them but I can't bring myself to vote Labour and am extremely unlikely to ever vote Tory.)

I like Lib Dem only in the sense that I like them more than Labour and Tory,and my decision to vote that way has more than a hint of strategy to it.
PR would turn the entire principle of democracy in this country upside-down.

DAMN RIGHTI liked the Lib Dems better when they were pledging to raise taxes to cover their manifesto - it was refreshingly honest. Then unfortunately they started stabbing their leaders in the back until they got one who looks like a clone of David Cameron but is even more boring :( I like Charles Kennedy, I'd vote for him.

I like this(Though I'd add that it's easier to promise tax rises when you know you're unlikely to get voted in and have to try and force it through. Still, I like it.)
