Two of 80. Why not Germany or Norway. I can say totally disfunctional USA, Gerrymandered to give a GOP house with Democratic majority vote is what you get with FPTP. ACA would sail through no problem under PR. Probably choose full medicare next.
Then again I'm not that familiar with the political history of those power house world leaders nations like Borkino Faso, Cape Verde, Guinea Bissau, Burundi, San Marino, and Wallis and Futuna. I do know where they are though. Perhaps they have the same revolving door governments that Italy is known for.

I certainly know that Russia and Iraq aren't the shining examples you might want us to believe of a quality democracy

Most PR countries will sell their children to enjoy the success the US has had. It is unsurprising that FPTP countries are so dominant, it is a superior system, that delivers superior results.

Look, the way it should work is people vote for their favourite party, the seats are divided exactly by parry and then a majority coalition is formed. You dont need to worry about that in advance.
You skipped past the point that the majority of voters -- those who voted for the Conservatives and those who voted for the Liberals -- voted for parties that opposed the idea of a coalition.

Thus, any calculation that somehow led to Thomas Mulcair as prime minister would violate the wishes of the majority of voters.

As for how I begin the discussion, I begin it with the idea that any change should be a change for the better -- not for the worse.

You might disagree with me as to whether or not it would be worse. However, I assume you would agree that if I'm right, there's nothing "unprincipled" about my position.

Look at the list of the FPTP countries. Are you familiar with Norway and Germany and Finland and Ireland. Cheezy smears dont work.

Ya we all witnessed that USA model during the shutdown.

It wasn't a smear, it was the truth. I've been to each one of those countries and know where they are. You really have thin skin. You're talking nonsense and it's clear most, if not all, on here feel the same way. It must be lonely in your coracle.

Lonely are you kidding me? Most of the world supports me on all of these issues. There are 5-6 reactionaries on here who can't take losing. I am smarter, I am better educated, I am a better debater, the facts and the truth are on my side, you got nothing. It is like I am arguing with the Duck Dynasty cast. There are 4 of them and one of me but it takes all 4 to add up to 100 IQ POINTS.

Must be hard to type with that hand mirror in your mitt. You're self aggrandizing posts are a hoot.

Wipe the spunk off your keyboard.

Meanwhile, let me clue you in on a little secret. Your posts should be able to stand on their own merit. Making unsubstantiated (and dubious) claims that you're smarter and better educated than everyone else isn't going to convince anyone.

Especially when he turns out to be wrong in such basic ways on so many topics. He claims to have taught Marx, but couldn't get the definition of socialism right. He's a clown.

He's been asked to do just that and has yet to do it.
