Most PR systems you end up with the least unpopular not necessarily the most popular.

There is PR systems that address this issue of voting for an individual..

I dont know about least popular, under PR the tories would still have won the last election.

The leader of one of the UK's biggest trade unions has had his vote in the Labour leadership election rejected.

Mark Serwotka, general secretary of the Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union, voted for Jeremy Corbyn, but was told his vote would not be counted.

Considering the PCS union is not affiliated to Labour and that the PCS wanted to run candidates against Labour then it's no real surprise.

Indeed.

They would, however, have not been able to form a majority and hence had to seek a coalition with other parties.

Interesting. A party that receives 1/3rd of the vote having to seek an accommodation with other parties so that they can represent 1/2 of the vote or more.

That kinda sounds representative, doesn't it?

looks democratic right

Meaningless statistic, as no voting system works that way, even any of the PR systems.
