If my friend red_ruby would be on your list, she would jump in to agree with you. So... I'll do it in her place ;) Yeah, I don't get people.

My father had arguments againt MMP, he's voting against, but he at least had some logical arguments. Those you listed are just not worth the bother.

You should talk to your Mom about MMP. She has some really valid points supporting it. She makes a good argument for it.

I will do that. Thanks :)

(Not that I need much convincing. I'm already on board.)
