You don't vote for 'someone', you don't get 'someone', you don't have an MP to call your own.
In PR, you vote for the party leaders, that's it. The rest of the MP's are merely filling seats and have no power or influence. In addition, you don't even know what the party you vote for is going to do, because they must form a coalition, and election manifesto's are worthless after the election. So, a bit like what happened with that tuition fee thing of the LibDems, only under PR it will be every time after every election on every election promise. That's why it takes weeks or even months to form a government after an election here.
Under FPTP, at least you have an MP in your area, who has surgery and you can call him or her a cunt to his/her face. You have an option to get rid of your MP at election time. No such delights for the PR voter.
