Counts in what sense exactly?

In damaging the tory vote. That exact enough for you.

It's not going to be "damaging the tory vote" any more than the current analysis suggests that it's going to be damaging the Tory vote. It is not new information.

Even at current polling, they look set to win ~5x the votes that the SNP will get.

As were discussing on another thread, it's clear you no longer agree with the constituency boundaries or the FPTP system.

Only the Lib Dems are putting proportional representation in their manifesto.
Why havent they pushed this during this parliament?
Unlikely they'll do anything next one either

Far too many are using negative scaremongering tactics which I abhor.

Labour will win as people vote to keep their benefits !! :beer:

Good luck all as the Annual Deficit rises and National Debt goes to 2 trillion pounds. :T

See the Tories are up to their same old tricks again and trying to appeal to the sad low self esteem element that spend every day of their lives in a panic over house prices falling, two stories out this week.

This time it is Ed Milliband and the Labour party that will cause house prices to fall should you vote for them. A few months ago in the by election it was UKIP that was going to cause local house prices to collapse.

I would like to think this scare tactic would not work, whoever comes out with that garbage, but sadly the Tories know how to appeal to these types of muppets, more so the ones that spend their whole lives on internet property chat rooms trying to convince and bully everyone into not talking the market down :-)

You know nothing about supply and demand then... :rotfl:

Why do you think Sol Campbell is selling his mansions ?

I think you'll find that statement is wrong. Both UKIP and the Green Party have proportional representation in their manifestos.

Because they got the AV referendum as part of the coalition deal. And besides, even PR won't save you, if your vote share crashes to 8%.:)

Yes the "AV referendum"

Infamously dismissed by Nick Clegg as "a miserable little compromise"

Along with the Students fees not dropping to £0 but trippling to £9,000, makes you wonder what value there is in being the minority party in a coalition.

We truly need minority governments / proportional representation to enact on the UK electorates preferences.

Compromises, whether they be miserable or otherwise, are what you get with coalitions. There is no a priori reason why one should expect that the UK electorate's preferences will be in any way consistent.
