Doesn't the UK have a similarly entrenched party system to Canada and the US, with first-past-the-post districts for MPs and all that?
- gmac 10y agoIt does. And we even voted against reforms to introduce a more proportional system in the recent past[1]. But trying to coordinate your constituency to vote for someone from a minor party makes arguably a little more sense than demanding that politicians be sent to the guillotine, which is where my comment started.
