Anyone and everyone.
I was called a nutter for voting Green yesterday!
What's their policy on PORN EP ?

As far as I am aware, they are not keen on deforestation!
Couldn't vote for them myself then , I like it to look like a cat with its throat cut !!
I think you will find the Green's prefer it to look more like Terry Waite's allotment.
Same applies with FTPT though. We now have a government for the next five years which only about 40% (or slightly less) of the voters wanted, and you can bet your boots that they will be bringing in legislation that much of the 60 odd % that didn't vote for them won't like.Problem with PR is that it reverses the problem; Yes, minor parties have too little influence in FPTP but they get too much as the marginal part(ies) in PR. Voteres end up with a mash mash of compromised policies that no-one voted for (as we have had for five years). Law of Unintended Consequences applies.
I'm no UKIP fan but for them to get 3 million votes, and the lib dems 2 million votes, and get 10 MPs between them is a joke.
SNP 1.5 million votes, 57 seats!
Which way will it go, peaceful protests or rioting in the streets?
Wouldn't pr lead to a lot of hung parliaments and therefore a new coalition every parliament?
That's what has been happening in Germany for nearly 70 years since the allies imposed proportional representation on that country after the war. And look what a mess they're in.
electoral reform will need to be complete reform, not just try to shoehorn some form of PR onto our existing structure. otherwise the "unfairness" is just diluted a bit without actually being addressed fully. the full impact and scope of change needs to be put in the open for debate, maybe we are happy to directly elect the PM, or cast aside local constituencies in favour of regions and party list.
That is a very interesting stat. Wherever those votes were, it appears most were not in the 20 or so most marginal seats.Most incredible stat of the 2015 election: Labour gained 480,000 more votes since 2010 than the Tories. Yet they lost 26 seats and the Tories gained 24.
