How dare you, yet again, try to put your own false assumptions and prejudices into the mouths of others. Yet again, typical deflection and distraction........and had our most recent GE returned a Labour or a more left leaning government into power, you and others on here wouldn't give a stuff about our democratic system.
For the record, even as a life-long example of one of your despised "left-leaning Labour types" I have, in fact, always actually favoured the principle of Proportional Representation.
For the first half of my voting life I did have the misfortune of residing in Devon constituencies where they could (and sometimes did) pin a blue rosette on a semi-trained simian and still romped home with a five-figure majority. But, even though, I knew my vote would "never count" I still always valued and exercised the hard-won right of franchise for all.
And, even now, despite living in the still (relatively) safe little red dot that is Devon's capital I still haven't changed my view of the greater fairness of Prop R.
Finally, before you throw 1997 back at me, despite my joy that almost so decades of cruel Tory hegemony was finally over I did feel equal disquiet then too at the volume of parliamentary seats delivered versus the actual shares of the vote.
