I don't like the system we have now, we now have a virtual one party state across the whole lenth of the far South of England.
Near 200 seats for the Conservatives come from that area alone.

I was always open to a change in the electoral system but felt as long as parties got at least 40% of the votes cast in election that the current system was tolerable.

We now have a govt as in 2005 where almost two thirds of those who voted, voted against it,that has to be unacceptable that in such scenarios a party can govern with a majority and implement unpopular policies,even rotten, unjust and heartless ones.

So I would support a pr system now,it is something the Lib Dems should have insisted on as to at least a referendum for their support and votes between 2010 and 2015 in the coalition.
However they should have insisted on having what was offered by labour in 2010,which was AV implemented without a referendum.

This winning elections with barely just over a third of the votes cast in the election, is not to m,e and should not be, acceptable now.
