Certainly I don't love proportional representation. To anyone who thinks proportional representation represents a more democratic representation of people's will, they are deluded.

My ideal political system is the American republican system, and proportional election model represents an oligarchic rule by elites misguised as activist-politicians.

Parliamentary systems are far superior to PR, but I agree that American republicanism is the best system. I think the creators of the US constitution warned about mob rule systems of government such as PR.
