haha! well, I guess you are just a ZaNu Labour luvvie. Go to a Tory conference, then you may have some validity to your claims.
When was the last time Labour took a vote at their conference? If they took votes there Bliar would have been out years ago.
ReplyDeleteanon: I try to go to every conference I can. Couldn't make the Tory conference this year but hope to make the next one. I think it will be in Brighton, will it not?
ReplyDeleteSo is STV your system of choice?
ReplyDeleteI prefer STV to the present system and would support it wholeheartedly but a more proportional system would be even better.
