[QUOTE="Lowland1, post: 7935029, member: 66524"] PR is a fairer system in that everyone’s vote counts except for the fact that the country can be held to ransom by vested interests and parties whose voter base is far exceeded by the fact that they might hold a casting vote a bit like we saw with the Ulster Unionists. So you could have a stalemate that can only be broken by the Greens or UKIP or the EDL. In our old constituency of Grantham every election the Conservatives would get 30,000 votes,Labour 20,000 and the Liberals 10,000.So for the next five years 30,000 opinions aren’t important. Everyone gets a vote it’s just if yours isn’t for the winning party in parliament it doesn’t count. It’s not really democracy but if you’re winning why change the system. [/QUOTE]
