I don't know why the fuck you keep obsessing over your holy grail of the participation bs. Ever hear "you don't vote you can't complain"? Unless you want mandatory voting but I highly doubt a classical liberal (just call yourself libertarian already!) would like that.

Proportional representation systems are a null/dividing by zero quality on all those criteria scales such elitist pedants like to fret about. I'm sorry if it's hard to imagine, but see here, there can be multiple members elected from an area and not this awful notion adopted from sports that there must be only one winner from an area.

And no, Parliament is most certainly not divided by popular support no matter how much you want to fool yourself into thinking that. The Cons got more than 50% of seats on less than 40% of support from the people. If anything, it has taken away support from the more popular non cons side and given it to the much less popular Conservatives.

If anything PR is by far the most bulletproof to this so called "participation criteria" because no matter how you "cut the cake" of voters' intentions nationally they'll sum to be more of less the same nationally (unless you want to force it to be a 2 party system like Spain does by making puny districts, but no one is proposing that). Believe it or not, a representative democracy is meant to be representative. If 30%, 20% or whatever percent of Canadians think a certain way Parliament should be composed to reflect that or is that such a radical extremist view for you. Oh, and I'll be sure to vote strategically in the next election with rv; I'll tell my friends to rate Libs, Greens, or Dippers 100/100 and those cons 0/100, you know what, I think this might've been an approval voting election all along!
