Yes Jack.

That is the big news.

Well done Brighton for having the guts to ignore the 2 party tactical blackmail lie.

And Well Done Caroline Lucas.

At the next election, when we have PR, her party will win more seats as will the lib dems.

There might be a BNP candidate or 2 who scrapes in but society will be represented.

Oh yes - and the big parties will have to grow up and learn to cooperate.

All this idea that a Hung Parliament is a nightmare is only true in a first past the post system where the government can be undermined by the threat of a no confidence motion followed by another first past the post election.

Under PR, the main parties would have to stop behaving like spoiled children fighting over a toy.

Bonzo3legs - why are you wearing a blue suit? In all likelihood the tories will be in opposition for another 5 years after which PR will ensure that they never have an absolute majority ever again.

Your dream is over.

But you carry on gloating if you like.
