    OK, but first you might want to study the way PR elections and coalitions work in the real world. They both mean you are probably led by the least electable of the main parties in the election. And our last experiment with a coalition wans't too successful, was it...?
    Yes, rather than having a parliament, representing by proportion, what the population voted for, you are much better with 2 parties braying like donkeys at each other across a a parliament floor and all chasing the same 'centre' ground where nothing ever changes.

      I actually thought the Tory/Libs coalition was successful. The Libs kept the Tories in check and we didn't get any mad right wing ideology. Such a shame LibDem voters can't see that compromises had to be made. But maybe I'm in the minority.

        Yes, ~52% to ~48% but it doesn't seem that democracy applies to you anyway.

          Of those who voted, and believed the hype and the lies, but hey, don't let facts get in the way of your bias .... still wasn't a majority of the voters, just like we get always get a government that the majority didn't vote for.

          The sooner we can get away from a 2 party system, the sooner the country and it's voters can start to trust that their vote really does count.

            <EUandPutin> yes of course, we should have made them vote again and again like they did in Ireland. Until we get 97% for the right vote</EUandPutin>

              I think you are. Evey one of Clegg's manifesto promises were abandoned. He also wrecked the Tory plans to rearrange the constituency boundaries to make elections more representative. And Cameron's government didn't have any major right wing ideologies, they were focussed on repairing the damage Brown left behind.

                How old are you again, that you have to resort to name calling and can't enter into an adult debate?

                    Some areas almost consistently return Lib Dem MPs so you in the minority with those areas.

                      Indeed exactly what we have at the moment. 'The opposition party' has lost the plot also following a simple instruction of opposing anything and everything. Its a complete mind fck of idiocy.
