As someone who has favoured 1st past the post for all my life I have to say that the recent elected dictators (both Tory and Labour) would be better controlled under PR. Under a strict PR based on percentage of vote the LibDems would have had 159 seats, instead they have 57, this does not seem right to me. If the politicians have to compromise we should have less extreme government and less likelihood of involvement in what I view as illegal wars. My only fear is that the Brussels bureaucrats would gain even more power from a rudderless UK and that we could end up with a leaderless ship. BUT after the disaster of the last 13 years I find it hard to think of anything worse.
