Peter and I live in Scotland, where we /have/ PR already, and we
already /know/ that it results in more independents - and more
independent members of recognised parties - than FPTP. We can
demonstrate it. So really there's no use throwing your [censored] at
us.

FPTP is manifestly broken.

You always get more independents in local elections.

These aren't local elections, idiot. They're national elections.

How many generations born in Scotland do you think it
takes before someone of Polish descent is entitled to think of himself
as a Scot?

Zero.

Or, if you are Michael Howard, an infinite number. Only Romanian
asylum seekers can become truly British.

Have to admit to some amusement on receiving an election leaflet from the
UKIP candidate, Mr Gutfreund-Walmsley, a naturalised Hungarian war refugee.

Unfortunately Fat Eric is still there.

But one of the MPs who supported the Martlehat bill isn't. Keith Bradley,
sitting Labour MP for Manchester Withington, had his 8,000 vote majority
overturned by a 17% swing into an 800 vote majority for the Lib Dem
candidate, John Leech. Time to write to Mr Leech about plastic hats I
think.

Didn't use the bike to get to the Polling Station, because I live in the
house next door to it.

Bad news: Anne Campbell (Lab, Cambridge somewhere, anti-compulsion)
lost her seat.

Good news: David Rendell (Lib-Dem, Newbury, seriously pro-compulsion)
did too. It was looking as if he would emerge as chair of the All
Party Cycling Group.

We have no idea who will now take on that role, with Jane G, Anne C
and David R all out of parliament!

But on the bright side, Anne Campbell (Lab, Cambridge, lots of other things)
lost her seat.
