scary people

Well we already have IRA terrorists with seats in parliament so I don't think "but scary people will get elected" is a valid argument.

One alternative which I read about recently on Chris Lightfoot's blog is called PR-squared in which the proportion of seats is allocated according to the square of the votes, specifically in order to make a parliamentary majority more likely. I remain to be convinced that this is actually a benefit.

Reading between the lines, I think it's specifically to disenfranchise Sinn Fein.
