Yeah I just heard. Looks like they want a Lib Lab coalition if Con wont do a deal with Lib on electoral reform. I bet GB had a hand in this lol it's like a game of chess.

I'll bet it's why Gord hasn't gone from Downing St yet.

He is definitely trying to hold on to power. I wonder if he can manage it?

We already have PR in Ireland and let me tell you something...it still sucks.
You just end up making politicians themselves into supervoters. (Transferable votes)

Well actually it is in everyone interest to 'press' the Lib Dem to form an alliance with PR/electoral reform as a condition.

If a party ever did emerge that was truly in our interest, under our present system they would never stand a chance

Fairer democracy btw would really be about letting citizens create referendums and a certain size of petition changing govt policy.
Proper democracy is about bringing it directly to the average guy on the street, controlling local council decisions by a show of hands in the town square for example etc etc.
The very word democracy is basically defined in the dictionary as vote for your dictator once every few years.
