Title: Re: Where is the tank? Post by: thetank on May 14, 2011, 11:29:31 AM Tank...does the scottish devolved system have full PR built in....I heard this on the radio the other day... It uses a form of PR that delivers roughly proportional results. Not absolute proportionality, hence SNP have 53% of seats with 45% of the popular vote. Title: Re: Where is the tank?

The answer is of course that twice as many people rejected it as voted for it - so a resounding no Whereas 35% voted for the Tories - which a) didn't give them a mandate because they didn't receive a majority but more pertinently b) no other option got more support - so completely different to the AV vote. If you think it's unfair that the Tories can be in government with 35% of the vote - how would it be fairer for a party with 10/15/20% of the vote to be in government? Which is what would regularly happen with full PR as opposed to rarely with FPTP Title: Re: Where is the tank?

Nearly 18 million voted for a party now in government, 3 times as many as the 6 million who voted for AV. |
