And you don't see any issue with what transpired after? In regards to disproportionate representative MP's compared to vote % Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chartpolski 28,007 Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 It doesn't allways work that way though. Remember the minority Tory Government in coalition with with the lib Dems, or Mays minority government with a support agreement with six DUP MP's ? FPTP is what we've decided is democratic, and as Churchilll said " it's the least worst of all bad forms of governance". Cheers. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If we actually have proportionally elected MPs then the left would be toast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
