Snake oil from Chinese water snakes may actually have some effect on conditions like arthritis because it contains large quantities of omega 3 fatty acids. Most of the "snake oil" sold in the west was fake and just mineral oil, or sometimes rattlesnake oil.

That's basically the main downside I see to PR, finding out your local MP is from the monster raving loony party would be rather annoying. Saying that, I doubt he could do a worse job than the useless tory bint I currently have ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I see your point, but the reality is most people do vote for parties rather than people.

I imagine you would see more smaller parties in a PR system anyway, rather than the current big neoliberal tent parties.

There are good arguments for ranked choice and proportional representation IMO. The latter tends to favour more "fringe" parties getting representation, which usually isn't a bad thing.
