I imagine this is not where Drood thought his PR thread would end up - debating the Maffia.
This is very true but ‘centrist’ has become a pejorative term of late, compromise does tend to lead to a middle way. I am fine with this, lots of people are not unfortunately.A good political system makes a politican's job a precarious one.
The many people who criticise PR for creating "weak, unstable" governments are missing the point entirely: a government should never be complacent and lazy, and they should never be unopposed. Coalition is a form of soft opposition: you want to govern, you have to compromise with groups who represent different interests to yours.

Are they like an organised crime syndicate for people who failed the spelling test in the Mafia entrance exam?

I suggest Leicester.Outside of PR we need to move Parliament away from London, preferably Birmingham.
Nope, didn't see that coming. Getting it back on track:I imagine this is not where Drood thought his PR thread would end up - debating the Maffia.
Oh, I think I see - is it a sexually transmitted vote?STV is utter bollocks...
Frequent arrests of the big fish for corruption is a good thing, the system is working.I'm surprised you are so positive about Italian reforms! Do you pay taxes in Italy? Have you ever been involved in a law suit? Do you not notice that almost every day a group of politicians/businessmen/wideboys is arrested for corruption involving state institutions?
