But they're still first past the post
Admittedly it's not very proportionate or representive, but few elections are.

That's all I'm saying - that it's not representative, which is the only claim to be used to say a certain type of election 'doesn't work...'!

Single transferable vote, or PR both work much better if more than one candidate has to be elected...

It'd be a lot easier if we just shot all politicians.

I agree completely!

We should put people in charge randomly, without offering the opportunity to refuse. The people that want to be in charge all make the worst leaders!

How can I tell that the past is not a fiction to account for the discrepancy between my immediate physical sensations and my state of mind?

Because we're still living with the consequences of Thatcherism.

All potential politicans should be strangled at birth or given very good careers guidance to redirect them.

I think I'll just go and sit in a corner until my head stops hurting....

awwwww
/me pats A. on the head!

aaaaaaaaaaa
/me kicks SB. in the groin

SB is now recovering
I go to find another forum where people do not abuse each other

Is that possible?

So i would be friendly if i started swinging handbags at you

TAke that.

Ouch

I like to carry bricks in my handbag to hit strange blokes with.

BTW
EVeryone go to check out Ginger's rounders page - looks like the 'eyeball' is going to be on the 18th of July

Huh, in London. I don't live in London. Most other researchers normally do...

I don't live in London
but it doesn't look like I'm gonna get there. unfortunately

I live in London!!!

(sorry, just thought I'd dro that in... no idea what you're all on about...)

The next question is, do " the powers that be" in what ever planet they may be residing (personally I think it is the planet Birdienumnum) belive that 42 is the answer. And if it is do they have the strength of conviction and moral apptitude to make a knickerbocker glory without getting the hundreds and thousands on the wrong end.
Yes, that why I'm called Obscure, welcome!

look for the lines!

ouch! I missed that one!

But mmmmmm do it again!
