Totally agree. I'm very much in favour of using almost ANY system other than FPTP. I'm only arguing that calling the conservatives the "party with the most votes" is a distortion of reality enabled by FPTP. They have the most votes of any single party, but their _ideas_ have far fewer votes than progressive ideas.
