Agreed. although my worry with the closed-list system is that it makes parties, not people, the main thing we vote for. This feels like a barrier to entry for independents, and a way of propping up the power of established parties. It also feels like it removes voters' ability to reject a politician that happens to be popular within the party, or to support a more maverick politician who doesn't toe the party line but who resonates with the public.
