Problems with PR system
The people who argue against the PR feel that it will not accommodate the concerns and interests of the miniscule or smaller castes and religions. Because of their smaller number of votes, these areas may not get any representation in the Parliament.
While FPTP may not be representative enough, PR may put smaller and regional parties at an unfair disadvantage. Ultimately, we will have to first decide what we want out of its elections and then choose the electoral system that works for those goals.
