I disagree with the idea of a unicameral body - although the proportional system described by Andy is intriguing. I believe that the best solution is bicameral - with one house elected by geographic districts (one or more members per district), and the other house elected via a PR method such as party list either from nationwide candidates. This guarantees representation both on a local level and for smaller political party groups that might not be able to win any local seats but may represent a substantial number of persons nationwide.
