Excerpt from Proportional Representation: A Study in Methods of Election
They are seen to be good for other folk; they fit into the circumstances of other societies; they may have worked well in climates different from our own nay, among ourselves they might be 'tried in some auxiliary fashion separated from the great use for which they have been recommended, but we will wait for the proper moment of their undisguised general acceptance. It is in this way that political ideas have been propagated, and it would be a mistake if we were hastily to condemn what are sure and trusty lines of progress. When the Royal Commissioners, after all their hesitations about the intrusion of pro portional representation even in the thinnest of wedges into the House of Commons, go on to say that there would be much to be said in its favour as a method for the constitution of an elected Second Chamber.
