Ringer	BS: Bring back Democracy to the UK (134* d)	RE: BS: Bring back Democracy to the UK	05 Jun 09
Barden of England: I refer to your post Date: 04 Jun 09 - 02:10 PM Aren't you confusing PR and whipping? I should have thought that if PR yielded small or no majorities then whipping would be more prevalent, not less so. If a party has a majority of 50 or so (as now) a few MPs voting against the whip makes no difference at all, but if the majority were small then those few MPs could well lose the government's vote. It seems to me that constitutional reform is being used by the unscrupulous as a smokescreen to hide the recent disclosures of just how deceitful MPs are. But I repeat: it's not a better method of electing MPs that's needed, but better MPs.
