Proportional Representation indeed provide far better fairness than first-past-the post-system.
With PR, each vote counts and when individuals are dissatisfied with a political party, they can vote for another party.
Guyanese dont see elections as being fair. A weak opposition guarantees that many feel shut out, and not just non Indians, but increasingly many Indians.
When an oppoistion parties spends its stime in teh oppistion by galvanizing voters through educating them on the fact that a PPP victory isnt inevitable, and only is so because they chose not to vote than we can see change.
In the interim a minority PPP govt will be good enough.
