I do not want to change from our current system. There are many, many unforeseen risks associated with the various proportional systems. If everyone that is working so hard to undo our current system would instead get involved in our current electoral system we would then improve our democracy. Just about all of the complaints about our current system mostly relate to voter turn-outs which can be addressed by some educational communications about the importance of each person getting out to vote.
If the system gets changed after an election or 2 voter apathy would likely return.
Proportional systems create a venue for fringe parties to get seats and a voice and there will be real danger that a fringe party can hold the balance of power.
Please do not change from our current system, instead please recommend measures that will promote voter participation and individual involvement in all levels of government. A citizens panel to recommend how to build up our current system would be the best outcome to this exercise.
Thank-you
