Trouble is Bobby no PR system is perfect.

The Scots system retains people elected directly for a constituency. The list members even up the numbers so as to deal with the unfairness in FPTP. I'm not convinced treating them as, in some way, second class MSPs moves you forward.

To my mind the big issue is that the people on the list are ranked by their party. No chance of corruption/favouritism there!!

Did I understand correctly that Wales' system involves multi member constituencies with all nominees from a list?
