lunge, as stoner says, individual members – though poll wise, (yougov etc.) ukip are polling around 15%, Greens and Ldems around 7% each
Yar, but unfortunately it doesn’t really matter because of FPTP. Electoral Calculus are predicting UKIP with no seats and 15% of the votes, the SNP with 49 seats and 4.39% of the votes. Which kind of works for me but jesus christ. Just as well we stuck with the highly fair FPTP.
i’m not saying the list system isn’t better, because I believe it is, it’s far from perfect though. But I imagine the list system getting abused in westminster, with it’s ability to parachute alsorts of shady representatives into seats that aren’t directly elected by anyone. It’s a strange compromise that allows faceless representation(at the time of voting.).
