Just to add a note. One advantage of the above model is that it does not require a wholesale change across the country. It can occur on a riding by riding basis.

Since there is no change in Ottawa (still one riding, one vote), it can be tested in a very incremental fashion. No big crisis, no big system change. PR is happening locally not at the national level directly, even if the effect is potentially national, depending on how many ridings sign on.
