I’m not a fan of straight proportional representation, because it undercuts and devalues ridings and constituencies.

That's not entirely accurate as the electoral systems mixed-member proportional and the single transferable vote under the proportional representation family both retain the local representation. It's only the party-lists system that abolishes local ridings.

I've (now I see incorrectly) understood straight proportional representation to be party-list proportional.
