Dave. The gnomes would start off ok. They would mean well but before long would be captured by the system themselves.

Guest. You vote from a list of MPs. One of the ones on the list you voted for became theMMP based on getting the most votes. They then get together under whip to propose a government to the monarch.

I fully agree that the government have no moral mandate to have carried out ideological policies such as NHS reform or tuition fees, not under anyone's manifesto but under the rules of elections, coalitions are valid. Not the first, not the last.
