It won't enough to stop a coalition though unfortunately. Some sort of PR is needed here

Conservative- 10.7 million-306 seats

Labour- 8.6 million- 258 seats

Lib Dems-6.8 million- only 57 seats!

In terms of votes, the lib dems done well, but not anywhere near well enough to run a government by themselves (which will probably never happen!- not that it matters now anyway)

anyway, I look forward to seeing the presidential debates

Why is PR needed? Smaller constituencies will result in better representation, whilst also keeping the idea of direct representation.

Even though the Lib Dems are a shit party, they should of had alot more seats than 57. Since they got nearly 7 million votes. It's unfair when the conservatives and labour get only a couple million votes more each and yet have 5x to 6x the number of seats. A electoral system like AMS (which mixes PR and FPTP) would be far fairer. It allowed the popular SNP to take over the scottish parliament from Labour, but if FPTP was used there, Labour was still be in power there, despite the popularity of them.

Also, how would smaller constituencies work? Don't you think think 650 of them is enough as it is? Unless, only major ones would go to parliament
