Wrong. PR is a much more foolproof subject. It's with single-winner
methods that there are drastic differences in merit. That's one good
reason to spend time on single-winner methods. Also, as has been
discussed here already, single-winner reform has a much better chance
in the U.S. Maybe England too. In England & Canada, PR opponents often
suggest the Alternative Vote as an alternative reform instead of PR.
No doubt they'd also accept a better single-winner method as an
alternative to PR, which they oppose.
