Hi there! While I can certainly understand your frustrations with the proportional representation (or perhaps the lack thereof) system, Wikipedia is not the place to vent. If you are interested in becoming more involved with the encyclopedia, feel free to get in touch with any questions or comments. Cheers gaillimhConas tá tú? 07:54, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Indeed, I agree that the proportional representation system could use some tweaking. You mentioned Sinn Féin, which ended up with four seats, despite having thousands more votes than the Greens, who won two more seats. You can surely count me among the irked in this election and its voting system. However, it might just be best to edit the proportional representation system with a section called "controversy" or a similar title and use this election as evidence of the fact that the system doesn't work perfectly. This is just my own two cents, of course, and feel free to edit Wikipedia however you want; it's just that explaining proportional representation on each page that links to it is going to be a bit tedious and perhaps not relevant to the article itself (the article linking to proportional representation, that is) gaillimhConas tá tú? 20:54, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
