""First past the post results in a dictatorship by small majorities. I don't know of a PR system that achieves that.""

On last week's results, Richard, PR would mean:-

Tories 38%
LibDems 17%
Labour 15%


We all know that what is the end result of that, going by past experience, is that the least unpopular party with the highest percentage of votes is powerless, since the LibDems will, as always in the past, prop up labour by rubber stamping their policies.

Bottom line.....The country is effectively run by the party which polls least votes.

Well, bloody hooray for PR.... the fairest system? I don't THINK so, and neither would the majority right now.
