Electoral Reform
I know next to nothing about electoral reform, and I reckon a proportional system would be a good thing, but I also very much want to be voting for an individual. A list of 6 where I like 1 and 3 but not 2 is not good. Is such a system possible? What's it called?

Why on earth would you think a proportional system would be a good thing?
Most votes would count. Parliament would be representative. Now if I hate options 1 and 2 equally but like any of 3, 4, 5, etc. there is often no point in voting.
Most votes would count but all would count less. Parliament might be representative of everyone's second choice and no one's first choice. That strikes me as a pretty poor outcome.
