I’d prefer that to .the current system where we always end up with Governments that around 40 per cent of the voters want.

Anyway, you’ve described one example of proportional representation there, there are others.

I don’t see any other way of getting things done than first last the post.

All others lead to deadlock.

Back in 2019:

Attachment 5059

Tories had 70 more seats that they would have done under ‘simple’ P.R.

Labour had 14 fewer.

Lib Dems were the party with the most to gripe about, given the share of their vote. However many of these votes cast for Lib Dems were probably protest votes i.e. anything but Tory or Labour.

Ditto for ‘Green’ voters.

SNP got more than they ‘deserved’.

The ‘rest’ are largely insignificant in terms of making an argument for P.R.

So basically 45% voted Tory and 45% voted Labour / Lib Dem.

Not sure whether P.R. would be that much fairer.

Chaos would ensue?

Or compromise. Politics is too confrontational and increasingly too extreme so something needs to change.
