Even with Proportional Representation the Party holding enough support to have the confidence of the house would form the government. Had our present, soon to be anointed, government been chosen through PR, nothing would be different.<br /><br />Also, there seems to be a belief here that the parties would remain the same. If even the 3.4% of Green votes this time received appointment seats, what is to stop the present parties from fracturing and all kinds of separatist parties, for example, from forming.<br /><br />There is another assumption here and that is that, because some of us think change is due, everybody (or a majority) thinks that. Don't we first have to answer the question that raises or do we believe that anyone who doesn't go along with us simply needs to be led by the nose?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257578024925559189.post-16075672621966965092014-12-05T19:02:59.032-05:002014-12-05T19:02:59.032-05:00Table comparing the 2 Winner Take All Systems: Fi...Table comparing the 2 Winner Take All Systems: First Past The Post & the Preferential Vote: <br /><br />http://bit.ly/tblWTAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257578024925559189.post-40148529964524910642014-12-05T04:19:04.050-05:002014-12-05T04:19:04.050-05:00http://bit.ly/tblWTAhttp://bit.ly/tblWTAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257578024925559189.post-90616618156326261072014-12-05T03:53:06.266-05:002014-12-05T03:53:06.266-05:001, 2, & 4 are all completely false.
