I think this post is missing a body.
Hmm, I didn't intend to add a body.
Why did you post this?
Why not? We have lots of new people in this community. And the content could also be shared to other places.
Are you asking a question? Or is this post just a general discussion?
I had intended to spark general discussion, or to be shared elsewhere by others.
In that case, a title like "What are the best benefits of proportional representation?" might have been more effective.
Done.
