The disadvantages of a PR electoral system :

• Under FPTP, MPs serve the constituency they campaign in. This makes them more inclined to tackle important local issues.
• PR can potentially provide a route for extremists to force their way into the political mainstream: under a FPTP electoral system this would be unlikely to happen.
• Some would say that PR produces ‘weak’ coalition governments rather than ‘strong’ majority governments, which arguably can lead to indecision, compromise and even legislative paralysis.
• PR can also reduce accountability to voters, as an ousted party of government can retain office by finding new coalition partners after an election.
• The adoption of PR list systems weakens the link between the elected representative and his or her constituency.
• The greater complexity and choice that PR allows can put voters off voting, by requiring them to have a greater knowledge of individual and party positions.
