PR Rant
From the comments on the bbc politics blog
Has no one recognised that under PR we would now have 12 BNP MP's, true democracy but surely not a result those advocating PR would desire! Or would their votes not count?
See this is the reason I like FPTP. I can't think of anything more awful than us having more BNP in the inner workings of government. Its bad enough the loony EU voting system gave them seats in the EU parliament. (Yes there are councillors but that is more down to nobody bothering to vote but the fascist and the folks they have convinced that they are not fascists) I don't like PR. I don't like backroom dealing between politicians, you can never get rid of the blighters under PR. It will break the link with my local MP.
