That’s not accurate to say as it’s gives voters the most sophisticated way of voting, prevents parachute candidates, increases accountability, in parliament and ensures 95% of the vote is counted instead of wasted.

It is accurate to say that it’s not as good as proportional representation because it isn’t as good as proportional representation hence the plaster over analogy.
