Whilst it does give a platform to a wider variety of parties and even independents.

 

You just end up in political deadlock and bartering for slivers of power.

 

Whilst our system is far from ideal, if they actually had any ideas they are able to do them. Obviously historically and not the recent ridiculousness.

[Sutton]

All deadlocks are resolved in the negiotiating process. After that, everything flows easier.

 

How do you define political power?

Is it not simply the voice that says what happens?

Any fringe group would have a smaller voice and thus get less say.

It's democracy writ large.

Remember the cause of Brexit.

UKIP and others caught the mood of the silent majority. The tories and labour had to adjust to them. That is PR in all but name.

 

I personally think both the tories and labour are such broad churches of so many dominations that neither will be able to hold it together. Only very rare leaders can appease all factions and splinter groups to keep some coherent unity and even then nothing really gets done. PR is inevitable in the next decade or so.

[GarethM]

Brexit was never PR, as a kick to the nether regions we did elect a lot of UKIP MEPs as a message. But that hardly changed MPs.

 

You'll be next wanting even more of a gravy train with more devolution to regions.

 

It's hard enough with what 600+ MPs let alone more.

[Sutton]

You're confusing identity "X is Y" with causal process "X precedes Y"

Try thinking about PR in a different way

Rishi Sunak Warns Of "Profound Economic Challenge" In Brief First Speech Since Winning Tory Leadership

APPLE.NEWS

---

Rishi Sunak said the country needs “stability and unity” in the face of “a profound economic challenge”...

Well I’d say he would know seeing as he played a huge part in getting us where we are. Not one bit of the current mess will effect him or his massively wealthy family.

Groomed for sure, but by Klaus Schwab and co as were many of the others who would lord it over us.

It's not even a secret anymore... they're remit must be to destroy every aspect of the normal life that we're used to, and not just here but globally.
