It is always a minority, McG ~~ since 1945, there has not been a single govt supported by an actual numerical majority of the electorate: a factor of our first-past-post constituency-based system; but PR has never been a popular alternative. So I don't think you can make much political capital of that.

I still feel the obloquy in which she is held to be unjust. Scargill was more malign than foolish, imo; and the idiot hyperbolical denunciations we keep hearing ["most evil woman of C20", some fool wrote on a thread not long since, genuinely appearing to feel she outranked Irma Grese of Elena Ceausecu or Myra Hindley in evil! - what a fatuous formulation] rub me up intolerably. She has become a mere scapegoat for the idiocy of the leftie opposition: a boo-figure bogey-woman for the unthinking or won't-think mob mentality.
