I'm not really too obsessed with moving that much towards it myself. I'm content with single-member FPTP constituencies, though supplementing it with PR isn't an inherently bad idea.
Aww, you really know how to talk sweet to me, don't you?
You're "content" with the system you just admitted does not represent up-to half of the voters. Then you really shouldn't have an opinion at all when it comes to whether a minority has the representation it wants. That's the lesser of two evils isn't it?
Yes I am content with it. My interest isn't in reaching the most representative system possible but providing political stability through a system more likely to yield majority governments than not. I don't believe race is a real thing so even if I cared about achieving equal representation, it wouldn't be on the list of "identities" for me to promote representation of.
