It doesn’t matter if you’re a Labor fan, the good times won’t last. If you don’t install proportional representation this will come back to bite you in the ass as it has before.

        Honestly the biggest issue in the US is the 2-party system, which means whoever has the most representation of the two basically runs the country uncontested.

      I seem to remember Labour in the UK promising proportional representation in the 1990s, only to win a landslide in 1997 and never mention it again.

        LibDems? We did vote for AV, and the 51% idiots voted against it.

        AV for Commons, PR for the Lords replacement.
