Shame the marvellous Great British Electorate overwhelmingly voted against the “miserable little compromise” form of preferential voting they were offered (because Nick Clegg is a useless waste of oxygen and couldn’t get a decent proposal on the ballot) when they had the chance of voting reform, leaving us stuck with shitty FPTT for another generation.
Still, all the parties are so unpopular we might still end up with Clegg propping up Miliband next time around. Hopefully - the idea of a Conservative / UKIP coalition doesn’t bear thinking about.

I get the impression that the Conservatives hate ukip at least as much as they hate Labour. Possibly more, now that the kippers have taken some of their MPs.
You were supposed to imagine me yelling “Proportional Representation!” and something like “No need to poison the well!” or something. “It’ll happen without their influence anyway!”
I dunno, imagination; how does that work?
What we’ll get is a UKIP/Tory coalition, at which point we’re utterly fucked. The bastards are polling 17% at the moment, due to their being constantly feted by the UK press.
Keep buying Relax though! The Masses against the Classes got to number one having been released for only one day. Don’t let Mike Read win though complacency!
