I'm not sure I follow. We've just had a very proportional vote (assuming you're over 18 and not in prison). 48% just got marginalised for somewhat longer than 5 years.
What would a proportional general elections have helped with other than making Nigel Farage deputy prime minister?
- sjclemmy 10y agoPR doesn't work for binary questions, it works for electoral representation. Referendums are a blunt instrument. In the general election the winner takes all and the losers are marginalised. Big majorities in first past the post are bad for democracy. If there was a decision making process that took into account all who voted we might have a more engaged electorate.
