I'm disturbed that you think it's acceptable to choose an electoral system that is designed to produce NOC, compromise, fractured government, and wasteful positions.
Germany and Italy are wheeled out as examples as good and bad, while ignoring Germany's near bankruptcy through botched reunification which still sees the East being vastly behind the West, and the serious weakening to Merkel's government through the coalition she was forced into several times.
I could of course list many more countries where PR produces weak and ineffective governments, but you already know about them, but are choosing to ignore them.
