    #20 has been law in America for many years. Anyone who has filled a visa waiver will have noticed.

    What AtW said.

    Some people in this country vote BNP. I think they're a pretty vile party, but those people have a right to a voice and no sane party is ever going to do a deal with them and commit political suicide.

    That's actually almost far right in it's wrongness, you're proposing being against PR because it might give minorities in a democracy a say ...

    IIRC most MRLP manifesto pledges have actually come about eventually anyway, which is more than can be said about any of the other parties.

    So, yes it might be a good idea, a truly progressive government.

    And what's the problem with that?
