Okay Pete, you’re still making a moot point given the tories took about 70% of seats with less than 50% of the vote share.

And Starmer will do exactly the same, or would you want him hamstrung by the Greens etc, like Italy/Germany etc…You may not like first past the post but it is infinitely better than the dog’s breakfast produced by PR….
 
Forgive my naivety in these things, but wouldn’t proportional representation give a clearer picture of what the public actually want ?

Everybody wants something different, to have anything like an effective government you need a majority view. We had a simple referendum on PR yes or no, 68% said no, 32% said yes, so if that referendum had been subject to PR itself would we have had both PR and First Past The Post at the same time. You always end up with the tail wagging the dog. What if some absolute Ultra Left and Ultra Right parties picked up 10% each, would you really want to see either bunch of nutters holding sway over a Party with the largest mandate….
