To: Leaning Right

Apparently 4,000,000 voters (13%) did the other day, the 3rd highest vote getter after the Tories and Labour. Thanks to the neat little setup under their system, it was good for 1 seat in the House of Commons (while the Scottish Nationalists, who got all of 4.8% of the vote, got 56 seats). Talk about disenfranchised.

Proportional representation is the only way around the ‘first past the post’ problem.
