PR is a must if we are to have a functional political system.

The mainstream parties have spent decades with their electoral strategy being "win the boomer vote." A bit like Blockbuster at the start of the internet age, they're tied to a strategy that will only be effective for a couple of electoral cycles, but they're too risk averse to move away from.

I view that as the reason why the mainstream political approach is to put the nation in to managed decline.
