and yet, somehow, you've never addressed the types of known failures possible; again, the word 'proportional' is your only driver - notwithstanding your questionable (unqualified and lacking in detail) references to Germany... to New Zealand... to Australia. Again, the principal Australia electoral system remains as AV - not proportional; again, Germany & New Zealand have MMP electoral systems that are only partially proportional. You appear to have no qualms in simply dropping country names as having proportional electoral systems - country name dropping without adding qualification and detail explaining the full nature of their respective electoral systems! 

again, notwithstanding both referendums failed to reach the necessary threshold percentage to realize a change to PR, for someone like you so steeped in the "mythology of proportional representation", the irony is off the charts in that you B.C. PR proponents would have had no objection to a fraction of B.C. voters choosing a new electoral system... one that was short on specifics and that few understood.

again, unsurprisingly, your presumptive "100%" fell flat with the country examples you offered up. If you don't care for those numbers I provided for proportionality of past B.C. elections, please provide your alternative (presumably preferred) numbers - yes?

Sometimes you stay the course and get it right waldo!
