Humourless utopian evangelists

PR supporters, says Lorne Gunter, remind him of:

... Dennis, the muck-tilling peasant from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
[...]
...Dennis [played by Andrew Coyne] is such a pinched, humourless evangelist for his utopian ideals that by the end of the scene you find yourself rooting for Arthur to repress him.
[...]
Proportional representation, including MMP, appeals to the sort of solemn soul who sees him-or herself as slightly smarter than the rest of us and above anything so crass as partisan politics.
[...]
... Marxism, too, looked good on paper until every attempt to implement it in the real world led to a disparity between rich and poor (party members and non-members) that would have made John D. Rockefeller blush, as well as a level of state violence against the citizenry comparable to the worst of fascism.

PR causes bigger problems than it purports to solve:

... PR tends to correct one problem-- too many seats for the big parties --
with another-- too much power for little ones.

Just what we need - excessive emphasis on single issue flakery.
So, Ontario, be careful what you vote for tomorrow!
