Proportional representation is fairer. But it's only more moral or just if the result is moral or just -- speaking from my consequentialist ethical perspective: I think it would be less just if it leads to a party getting in that will completely fuck over this country even more than it already is because the public may actually be idiotic enough to vote such a party in.
The Tories are the worst party able to win without proportional representation, but they are not the worst party able to win with proportional representation.
Proportional representation opens up new possibilities to more results, good and bad. And good. And bad. It depends, it really depends. But there are scary parties I don't want in life UKIP. You may say it's not about what I want, but what I want is about my opinion, and my opinion is what I am expressing, because what I want is whatever I think is best, and what I think is best is what is ethical, and what I think is ethical is what I think is ethical from a consequentialist perspective: what I want is not a purely selfish sense of want, it coincides with my opinions of what is best. It's the way I view life.
I believe ethical philosophy is relevant to political philosophy and philosophy is relevant to ethics and ethics is relevant to politics.
