As I understand it, the Libdems only want proportional representation for parties which get 15% or more of the national vote. In other words, they want it for themselves, but they don’t want it for anybody else! A typical half-measure! What would you expect of them? Half-hearted, wishy-washy, compromising, dithering, wavering, scared-to-go-all-the-way spineless liberalism.
For most of my lifetime the Liberals have been a tiny party, with less than 10% of the vote. When they were small, they advocated true proportional representation.
Now they are acting jumped-up and have watered down their policy to suit their rise in votes.
But how would the public really vote if we had genuine proportional representation, a system in which every vote counted and even 1% resulted in 6 MPs?
That is very uncertain. The Libdems will never take that risk.
