A number of other countries with far more functioning governments have also been using proportional representation for many years. No system can completely prevent people from putting idiots, liars, and sociopaths into office. However, we ought strive for a system where our representatives are at least proportional to the population that puts them into office. In the US nearly 100% of political seats at all levels are occupied by republicans or democrats even though fewer people than ever identify as republican or democrat. That's exclusively a result of our archaic voting system.
