Italy should be seen as an outlier, not the norm. PR systems tend to be far more representative of the "public" than first-past-the-post systems.
So the Bloc would hold the balance? That's interesting...a nationalist, separatist party holding the balance. Would probably mean Quebec would be far less likely to leave Canada then if that sort of situation developed.
PR would not be implemented in the House of Commons. They will maintain the first-past-the-post system. Rather, it might be an idea at the Senate, as our Senators are appointed rather than elected. PR would give a bigger voice to the opposition parties.
