But look, this experiment has been done. You can argue until you're blue in the face that PR will change things significantly. Then I can point at countries who already have it and go "well, this is what it works out to when you get it" -- it's different but it's not qualitatively different. It's marginal. If you do detailed statistical analysis you can find that it slightly brings up voter turnout -- but you do need detailed analysis.
