Proportional Representation = BNP MPs...

Is that what wishy washy liberals want these days fairer votes and fairer systems? BULLSHIT

You're never going to get a fair system. All systems benefit those in power because it is they who design them, they who control them, and they who can override them with emergency laws.

Don't endorse the state. Don't vote, organise.

"Proportional Representation = BNP MPs... "

That's how it is when democracy is working properly. The wrongheaded folks get to vote and have their views represented too. Democracy isn't about making good, wise, just, etc. etc. decisions but when working properly, just the decisions that "the people" want, for good or for ill.

There are other consequences of a more democratic proportional representation system (with low threshold). It destroys the "glue" holding parties together since as long as both resulting factions remain above the threshold no severe cost associated with party splits over ideological differences or personality clashes among the leadership. Especially those of us on the "left" need to keep that in mind as by our history we tend to fragmentation and poor cooperation between factions.

Hang on, did you guys actually TRUST the Lib Dems?

PR = BNP MPs

Lib Dems = Tories (and that's official, bud)

Proportional Representation might let in a handful of BNP MPs, but under the current system it lets it hundreds of extra Labour, Tory, and LibDem MPs. I'm not sure which one is worse. I don't want those main party scum running things for me either!

Yes, I am anti-fascist, and no, I don't vote.

But by any standards, representation as a proportion of the number of votes is much more fair than the existing system, even if both systems will always be controlled by the rich anyway.

So, I have no illusions about PR making the world a happy place, but at least it will throw some spanners in the works, so good luck to the PR people.
