    @bernardkeane on the other hand, really the only people who should be governing are those who don't want to. #HHGGTG

        @BernardKeane @jvedmond is it democracy when less than half the population gets its first choice? Proportional representation is fairer.

        @mrmintslice @BernardKeane optional preferential is better still. I'd rather my 2nd choice than my 5th but the LNP would be my nothingth

        @jvedmond @BernardKeane proportional representation means almost everyone has at least one member. If a party gets 10%, they get 15 members

        @mrmintslice @BernardKeane it assumes no preference matters after the first. And what if 10% of the country are bigoted fools?

        @jvedmond @BernardKeane actually it would work much like the Senate. And isn't it better that Parliament is representative of the people?
