ABSTRACT
Many people think proportional representation (PR) is a good thing. It is, granted, better than first-past-the-post, simple majority or plurality voting, but it is still adversarial. He or she who gets the support of a quota gets elected, and what other voters think about his candidature is irrelevant. Indeed, in tom societies, a candidate’s success sometimes depends on the extent to which he has managed to antagonize those other voters not in his or her own ethnic group or quota.
