Line 12:
PR squared is a system that is a relatively small change from the perspective of voters and the major parties, has some benefits for almost all parties, and accordingly may stand a higher chance of achieving consensus for its adoption. While not closely proportional, PR squared can be shown to be about half as disproportional as FPTP, according to certain common measures, in particular treating third and fourth parties which compete UK-wide more fairly.
The prospect of majority government on a minority of votes remains quite possible, and in large part PR squared is advocated for pragmatic reasons. It is essentially a "half-way house" between FPTP and PR, retaining much of the former's structure and familiarity, while going a considerable distance towards proportionality.
