Proportional rep. is the natural form of government

First past the post places too great an emphasis on the left-right axis. If our only concern, as voters, is whether our representatives can be considered to be on the 'left' or the 'right' then it serves us well. But there is much more to politics than only this division. Since we have more that defines us politically than left and right we should have a voting system which reflects this. It is absurd that we are given a choice of only two candidates which can realistically win. If there is no good reason to oppose proportional representation then it should be the system in use. Pr is logical and for that reason it should be accepted.
