Unlikely given the pathetic result UKIP got in the most recent

just one MP elected, and that one a refugee from the Tories that who

And yet:

Ordered by share of the votes

Party Vote share Seats
Cons 36.9% 331
Lab 30.4% 232
UKIP 12.6% 1
LibDem 7.9% 8


And tell me again why we still used this broken arsed voting system?

Because if we went proportional representation we would have governments
resembling the EU.
Its odd that UKIP want out of the EU but are prepared to put the country
into the same political state if it benefits themselves. On second
thoughts its just "I'm alright stuff everyone else".

And yet equally strange that the 3 main parties who benefit most from
the FPTP system don't want to change it...

It would appear you are in a very small minority of people that want to
change it. Just as well we don't have to listen to such a small minority
unlike if we had proportional representation where little voices hold a
lot of power.
