    Listening to David Cameron now. He is doing just what I expected. Offering a deal to Clegg with the lure of a commission on electoral reform, knowing full well he will stick with FPTP.

    And Labour are well known for their truth

    Least he had the balls to say what they don't agree on and the balls to say what they won't be moved on.

    So very little a*ss kissing but a very open offer

    I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right

    Proportional Representation - where the number of seats "won" is in proportion to the number of votes cast.

    First Past The Post - what we have now.

    They can all tell porkies but its the party in power that makes the difference.

    which labour have failed to do

    NC and DC both want change...here's their chance, you do the maths.

    DC wants change to look after his posh mates and the more wealthy people... he has little interest and has failed to connect with the more ordinary people in his own country due to his background and his connections to Ashcroft and the non-dom affair.

    yet they have taken the most seats since gods knows when, highest blah blah since god knows when etc etc

    Labour are out

    Labour need the lib dems AND other parties remember

    NC has already said he will NOT join with Labour with GB at the helm.

    So unless Labour turn around and say NC can be PM they have no chance.

    By kicking GB out they then just show the interest is not in the country but just saving their ars*es......

    and if the country was in such a mess as you portray why didn't the Conservatives win a land slide election victory instead of trying to scrape a majority with another party.

    it's 13 years and 4 elections they've not been in power and they've 'taken the most seats since gods knows when' - they're looking a bit stuck.

    the quicker GB get's out the better for the future Government.
