PR exercise works
We should use the same voting system as our cousins in Northern Ireland. There, instead of having a closed-list party-list voting system as we do, they use the single transferable vote system of proportional representation (STV-PR).
That way voters can express their preferences both for their favoured parties and for individual candidates.
