well, you know, maybe. If the people want it in their fancy questionnaire. They might not though, since clearly FPTP is the most effective now that it resulting in a liberal majority.




Yeah, that survey was incredibly lackluster. Also felt some of the questions were pretty leading.

Questions like implying online voting would lead to higher electoral costs or that a more mixed representation in the house would immediately slow down government. While some of those effects may occur, it seems disingenuous to pick out one random negative effect to single out in a questionnaire like that.
