caddymanOn a final note, since it will change nothing, I would just like someone to explain the underlying fairness of a First Past The Post system that translates votes thus:
2010 General Election:
Conservative: 307 seats. 36.1% of popular vote. 47.2% representation;
Labour: 258 seats. 29% of popular vote. 39.6% representation;
Liberal Democrats: 57 seats. 23% of popular vote. 9% representation.
This is the fair system the Tories and the majority of the Labour party wish to preserve. Not because it serves the National Interest, but because it serves their own interests and hang the country.
