Our first-past-the-post (FPTP), majority governments behave like monocultures — too much power in one place, zero incentive for long-term thinking, and a whole lot of partisan Kool-Aid. We ricochet from mandate to mandate, mistaking speed for effectiveness.

Consensus systems aren’t slower; when designed well, they deliver steadier, more durable policy because they force collaboration, not political whiplash.

Proportional Representation (PR) naturally incentivizes cooperation, shared accountability, and policy that actually survives more than one election cycle.

By embracing PR, we’d stop confusing “winner-takes-all” with “effective governance", finally electing a government reflective of the country it serves.
