    You'd need to be a thermonuclear moron to want either of those two parties closer to power in Westminster.

    We really are fooked - I suppose we get what we deserve.

          And right now party grandees are not in safe seats?

          The only downside to removal of FPTP is the two main parties and their corporate sponsors.

          And that’s perfectly fine by me

            I wouldn't worry, the UK will soon be a dictatorship run by Cummings and his coterie of SPADs using Johnson as a convenient scapegoat

            Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

              Around the country the population has alternative vote e.g. voting for the Mayor of London and the London Assembly.

              Unlike voting for the London Assembly when you vote for the London Mayor you vote for a name so you can vote for both major parties....

                They would do a better job than the current shower of "we've had enough of experts" twunts.

                  The problem is no accountability. When did you last time hear a politician doing time for corruption? It's a bit of a joke, but at the same time there is no alternative, so there you go.

                      Sturgeon is better at selling bad.
