Here is what the seating would be like with proportional representation.

thats what we should have had then...
|
I can see the advantages of it however, it gives the chance to pressure parties (see above) to get in. BNP were backing the Liberal Democrats just to get this reform and to impact the political system. I personally wouldn't want to be represented by 12 BNP and 6 Green....
|
then don't vote for them, it would force the main parties to tackle the issues that make those parties popular.
|
The point is they arent popular... I dont want mainstream parties taking on ludicrous policies to attract a few minority votes - that is very far from democratic. Those parties are insignificant and so are their supporters.
|
well, thats the choice, either you ignore the small parties or you tackle why people are voting for them, I guess it would depend on there popularity, so yes, based on that result, they wouldnt have enough power for the main parties to be too concerned
