Proportional representation. How would that really work.
650 seats in Westminster. only 66% of voters turned out so 221 seats need to remain vacant.
At the moment, Conservatives have around 37% of the total vote so they can have 158 seats. Now the hard part. 321 (at the moment) MP's squeezing into 158 seats. who decides which muppet gets a seat?
Even more interesting, the Greens got about 4% of the overall votes but only one MP. Using PR they should get 17 seats in Westminster. Who decides which 16 un-elected people get a say in government?
