    I think it rocks for different reasons, namely that you elect a person to represent you, opposed to electing a party. As such, we should remove the focus away from parties and back to the individuals.

    If I remember correctly, the Prime Minister has to be an elected MP, right? Why has no one tried to challenge him on his home-turf and uproot him that way?

    a lib-dem vote ensures that there is always a viable pretender to the mainstream crown.

    a vote for a minor party is an act of leverage designed to shift the position of a major party.
    Also this. There are no such things as Wasted votes, and I am glad we agree on this, Furunculus.
