One voting system may be better than another in best representing the desires of a random voter. It doesn’t follow that it’s better in choosing your personal desires.
I don’t know anything about UK politics, but I think you’re missing an analysis of whether the switch would be beneficial to you and your political preferences. Although it might be best not to enter such a mindkiller discussion on LW.
Which is why I didn’t. Not only would it be a mindkiller result in itself, but the evidence is sparse and very easy to interpret in multiple opposing directions.
For the record, I think a yes vote would give a slight advantage to the party I support, and anyone who wants to can find out which party that is in a few seconds, but I would support a yes vote even if it would disadvantage the party I support because I think that long-term my own goals are furthered by having a more democratic society.
