But this 'gravely flawed' British system is the one repeatedly chosen democratically by the British people in several surveys — and an actual honest·2·god referendum in 2011, in which proposals for your beloved proportional representation were thoroughly and incontrovertibly defeated. Those like peregrina & Steve just adore democracy, don't they -- always provided that the judgment of the δεμος just happens to come down in approval of the sort of system they'd prefer. When it doesn't [as, I reiterate, only 5 years ago!] they wiggle their ɷ's and get ever so sulky and peevish! Great advertisements for their sort of 'democracy', aren't they! ≈M≈
