Since 1999 voters in Britain have elected MEPs under a proportional representation system. The European Parliamentary Elections Act of that year introduced a regional list system with seats allocated to parties in proportion to their share of the vote.
If you pop over to the various websites of the EU, the political parties, the MEPS, etc. you'll find it explained quite well

Originally posted by xoggoth View PostYeh, a totally proportional representation system, not the fudge the Lib Dems proposed, would be good. Of course not all constituents could have an MP who represented their own views locally but think that's a lesser issue.
An elected House of Lords too (but called something else) plus ditch the monarchy.

Just replace the priest class with the media and it's clear there is nothing new under the sun.

Im all for a hunger games type selection process. I figure if they can make it through the killing games then they have something about them. I can't imagine the negotiations with the EU as being as farcical if our PM had killed several other politicians.
Also, they should be allowed to carry a gun and have to protect themselves. This would cut down on police protection costs and again prove their metal.
I believe Winston Churchill had to do something similar as a lad and look how he turned out.Last edited by woohoo; 30 January 2019, 15:09.
