The logical conclusion of PR could well be if you have 3 political parties in a country who each draw 33% of the vote given they are all diametrically opposed to each others belief systems, as a result have policies which oppose we end up with a compromising between all three and end up with across the board second best, third best. the thing is PR is desirable when your not in power but a share of power is better than no share, history doesn’t remember the second, third placed. other wise you would have to hope that one of the three got more than 50% to be fair, then the other 49% could leave the country.
