So a Libral majority elected with 40% support would be more 'democratic' than a Conservative majority elected with 40% support? I don't get how peple can't seem to understand that if you have a 4 or 5 way race you will never get 50% plus 1. Andif it is "this fractious house" that annoys you, you had better support FPTP, as most other systems (STV, MMP etc.) will produce more minority governments with even more parties.

You do realize if we get stuck with some form of PR, we will have endless minority governments and 4 - $300,000,000 elections in 7 years will become the norm and not the exception. And it could turn int 7 elections in 4 years. Be careful of what you wish for.
