PR is certainly the better way. I am struck by the fact that the Tories' share of the vote is pretty much unchanged but that their number of seats has risen. People switched their votes from Labour to the Lib Dems and woke up with a Tory MP in some cases. Red face day for them methinks.

Listening "Gorgeous" George Galloway's acceptance speech last night I thought he should have stood in Barking! As mad as a hatter!

Ex MP Tony Banks was virulent in his condemnation of Galloway. Said that he had capitalised on the anti black, anti jewish anti women sentiment among the muslim population to oust the Black/Jewish woman MP Oona King. Its a great shame as King was a first rate MP by all accounts (and I believe had the support of Billy Bragg). But the upshot is that the SWP in effect now has an MP.
