Default Re: Why I\'d Vote No To Proportional Representation by Daniel Tammet

He didn't list a single good reason for his position. Obviously this is one of the areas where he's more "autistic" than "savant".

*equality isnt an end in and of itself
*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)
*politicans that dont have a majority of voting power comprimise their principles to buy and a sell positions in a market place of votes which occurs behind closed doors in attempt to form majority coalitions.
