Not relevant to the issue.

*maximizing indivudal voting power is preferential to maximizing national voting power

*majority groups taking advantage of minority groups is not fair (personally i believe this is a systematic problem)

Once again, arguing in favor of PR.

So rather than someone fighting for a compromise between my views and Party A&B's, I'm better off just living under Party A&B? This makes no sense.
