Does fair vote seem to have a consensus on what election method(s) are best for election reform? Likely proportional representation is in the mix, but are there others?
The answer to your question is NO
They seem to endorse multiple and that makes their advocacy much less meaningful IMO because it's undirected.

The problem is there is no best system. I'm sure if there was a popular movement related to any of these they'd throw their support into that, but for now it seems like they're trying to be the everything group.
Preach. The issue with just presenting PR as an end-all is that there's a lot of subsets that might be better. They got their fingers in too many pies. Just pick one so you can present a clearer message.
If you're serious about democracy and ensuring every vote counts, there is no other important measure than proportional representation.
However, Democracy Watch does a lot of very indispensable work in protecting our democracy that I would be championing - had I not already decided to focus on proportional representation. Like many organizations, they are quite starved for money, so any donation is welcomed!
