Working in the bowels of government, I'd be concerned about living with proportional representation. I like the idea philosophically, but in practice I believe it would mean indecision, inaction and weak government. Having a majority means that you can move forward with a strategy and if you misstep too many times, well...it generally ends fairly quickly. The Alberta NDP have a chance to make things happen with a 4-year term that would have been a minority government with anything but first-past-the-post. I'm not living in Alberta and I might be wrong, but I suspect there wasn't a cry for proportional representation in the aftermath of their last election. The theory is that people would be more proportionally represented, but in the way that minority governments are impotent and unable to cultivate a meaningful platform, I would expect anything but proportional constituent representation. Would government become more collaborative...are we missing the point of competitive democracy?
