Democracy is a collectivist scam.

Don't you meddle with FPTP.

@bigswano thats too simple for them
-
Israel is total PR country, but that simply means interest-group parties have more power. Individual politicians are never elected or defeated.

John Cleese is awesome.

here's the answer Britain:
1: Make each seat roughly equal in population
2. Change the boundaries between elections
2: Introduce a form of preferential voting (like instant-runoff voting)

@madabbafan Thats because labour have been Gerrymandering the constituency lines ever since Thather/Major was out of power to stop a good governement
Basically Labour were thinking if the Tories did a good thing in the past they might do a good thing in the future

@larsdalen actually the first past the post system favours the Labour party more. They need about 35% of the vote to gain a majority the Conservatives need at least 40% with the current constituency boundaries. The big cities esp in the north are more highly populated so have more constituencies and are mostly Labour. The south is more rural, lower populated and so has fewer constituencies but are mainly Conservative.

Proportional Representation is a great system. We have it in New Zealand. There was once a British conservative MP who said "We don't want proportional representation... just look at the nightmare in New Zealand."
What? Being the least corrupt country in the world? Yes I imagine Tories would be terrified of less corruption...

@Fleshious FPTP, May 2010: Lib Dems with 23% of the vote get 8% of the seats. Labour with 29% of the vote get 39% of the seats.
And we call ourselves a democracy?! It's a joke!
