There is no reason to oppose the introduction of proportional representation

To 'vote' is not a positive, selective act we are rejecting the majority of candidates which have been offered. If we have only one 'vote' we are able to exclude from our rejection only one candidate and reject everyone else. Given that, under Fptp there is only a single winning candidate it is useless to exclude from our rejection someone with very little chance of doing well anyway. We might as well 'exclude from our rejection' someone who might do well (from one of the leading parties) if we want to influence the outcome. If more than one candidate is able to go through this means that we can assume a handful of popular candidates will do well and that we can influence the result for less mainstream parties. More people are allowed through the gate meaning that our vote is not well used if we vote for a candidate which is likely to go through anyway so a vote for a less well known party has a chance of success. With only one winning candidate it is only worthwhile choosing between parties that are expected to do well which hands a huge advantage to the established parties. There is no reason to restrict the parliamentary decision-making process to only two or three parties, there is no loss in broadening it out and enabling other voices to be heard. There is no reason to oppose the implementation of proportional representation.
