QUOTE (user23 @ Nov 10 2016, 05:54 PM) There's a cross party group looking at at the at the moment. Doesn't seem to be getting much media coverage though. That's interesting, even more so to hear what they come up with. Its a shame about the lack of media coverage, perhaps highlighting something else that would help bring people and politicians together. We seem to be lacking an easy to absorb brief on everything that's going on; not just someone's edited highlights!

Knowing the party your vote for only needs 1/600th of the national vote to gain one MP might make people realise their vote matters.

QUOTE (user23 @ Nov 11 2016, 05:34 PM) Verging slightly into conspiracy theory territory here, but apparently Trump's election was down to Putin. Good. He may have saved us all. Clinton wanted a no fly zone over Syria. Could have sparked WW3. If the Russkies are stupid enough to get involved in wars in that area of the world let them. History teaches us it does not end well.

QUOTE (user23 @ Nov 11 2016, 07:45 PM) That wasn't for Proportional Representation, it was for something completely different. Because the LibDems, despite being part of the governing coalition couldn't get PR on the ballot. And then the great British public decided they didn't want a fairer electorial system.

And then the great British public decided they didn't want a fairer electorial system. And the Monster Raving Tories didn't want to let go of gerrymandering.
