Yes, pure proportional representation is by far superior to any other election system.
The USA Parliament has been using it for 20 consecutive years and I founded the unity coalition myself in 1995 after running for Governor of California on a platform of state voting reform through proportional representation.
In Usenet, where I campaigned online for Governor in 1994, I was attacked, harassed and harangued by the Green Party status quo because I didn’t fit into their plans for NOTA for Governor who defeated my candidacy that Spring primary.
In October of 1997, the founder of Google derived their name from my email presence in Usenet, my email address was joogle (my initials).
A lot of people just blew me off, called me a liar, that google didn’t derive from my name and that proportional representation is no good.
Google denies that they got their name from mine and they deleted the comments and went out of their way to distort the truth and to try to steal every idea that the USA Parliament has innovated.
That caused a lot of delays and wasted time as they tried to use my ideas for their own, as long as they were unilaterally initiating opposition to my work.
I was accused of many things like “fraud”, “stalker” and “liar” by those engaged in divisive, hostile plurality elections and they never gave PR a good look, nor showed remorse for their unjust actions.
