The fact all libdems are for it should tell you more.
Here is my view on it all;
1. It is more complicated, therefore will be more expensive to administer.
Government already costs too much.
2. It is more representative as the winner would need 50% of the vote.
Total bollocks. Consider this

Only true democratic vote for me in a NATIONAL election is to get rid
of all this Leeds Central, Leeds West constituency nonesense and have
a straight vote for legitimate parties (would need some sensible

How disgracefully rude. Fine, if you don't like or approve of the Royal

Exactly my view on thngs too Jim, with the second group by far the biggest.
Our Division play offs/promotion is really bad to decide in terms of who I
want to go up (assuming that we have no real chance)
QPR - prob 3 (up anyway)
Norwich - prob 3, with a bit of 2
Millwall -big time 2

Politics for all or none.
From recent events we have seen that for all is a non starter.
So my vote is for none.
In short let's stick to football.
