    UK parliament has always been sovereign, so no need.

      This is known within Subcommittee B as delegated "sovereignty" (scare quotes included). Any secondary adjunct of the primary unimatrix (technical speak for "member state") that attempts to blur delegated sovereignty with true sovereignty will suffer the consequences outlined in Article 1 of the Consequences of Deviation. To paraphrase: you're a very naughty adjunct.

        The idea was is you wanted to vote Green and the largest opposition party in your constituency was Lib Dem, then you would look for someone in say Brighton who wanted to vote Lib Dem. They would then vote Green and you would vote Lib Dem. That way both your votes would be more likely to count and you would help avoid getting in someone for parties you hate.

        The current voting system for GE means about 50% of votes are wasted.
        Unless a vote is for a candidate who wins with a majority of 1 or who wins on a coin toss after a dead heat, every individual vote is wasted.

            People vote to keep other parties out e.g. UKIP, Labour. For examplein Nick Clegg's constituency Tories voted for him to keep Labour out.
