Unit rule & PR

Can someone explain this bit:

The unit rule, defined by the committee report as "a practice by which a majority of a meeting or delegation can bind a dissenting minority to vote in accordance with the wishes of the majority." Some argue that the abolished unit rule was replaced by a very similar system of proportional representation, which would essentially create the same outcome as the previous unit rule. The proportional representation would create a winner-takes-all system, which would begin at the county level which would allow the majority to override the minorities and send their delegates.

How is a proportional representation allocation a winner takes all approach? Surely the unit rule was winner takes all? Timrollpickering (Talk) 14:33, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
