Oh yes, I'm very much in favor of Proportional Representation methods.
But for the foreseeable future we will have problems with drawing
districts and drawing better districts, and it's a kinda interesting
problem to tinker with too.
And I have this notion that it would be good to have a bicameral
legislature with one house elected at-large PR and one elected from
single member locality districts.

deficiencies of a voting system designed for a completely different
purpose?
