i like having a local member and a constituency
a local you can blame or bitch too
Reckon it's a good feature of parliamentary democracy. You wouldn't get that with PR unless you decided to randomly assign winning members to seats. Why even have seats if the PR is for the whole country? Do you have 550 on the ballot card, or just vote for party and not know who you're voting for?
I think the australian lower house preferential system of voting is better than PR and first past the post for reasons I mentioned a few days ago here and won't bore you with again
