Labour support reform, Lib dems do. Torys oppose it as its their only hope of keeping power as the more media savvy generations come up through and start voting with the correct incentives
Rubbish, Lib Dem support PR< as its their ONLY way to get more seats which they otherwise can't get.
Labour have only RECENTLY started to court Lib Dem and court a coalition with them, as such they all of a sudden want what Lib Dem want.
Torys DO want reform, get it right, proportional representation is ONE OPTION FOR REFORM.
Torys don't want PR, however they do want reform.
AS of several months ago, and for several years Labour wanted no reform, only lately as it became clear even to the incredibly dense Brown, have they suddenly wanted to do exactly what Lib Dems want, after YEARS, actually decades of shifting borders for constituencies to give them the most seats they can get.
Clegg is being a tool, my analogy would be, its like big brother, some tool who had no chance of winning who nobody wanted to win, won some stupid challenge one week, the prize of which, not known before, the choice of who goes up for eviction that week and suddenly he has all the power and everyones being nice to him.
Its a joke, our election has turned into a joke, for MONTHS, or infact years Clegg has staunchly stuck by the opinion that whoever gets the MOST seats NOT the majority, should be PM and anything he does now just makes a mockery of that.
Yes Lib Dem should have gotten maybe more seats in a fairer system, but is it really fair.
If with PR it turned out that Lib Dem got their 28% of the vote, but they came 3rd in EVERY single election in the country, and not a single area actually voted to give Lib Dem a seat, is that fair?
If less than 1/3rd of an area wanted Lib Dem to get a seat, and over 1/3rd wanted Torys to get the seat, is it fair that Lib Dem gets it due to PR and getting a decent portion of the vote.
Make NO mistake, Labour want the current system and have changed the borders over time to give them the most power possible and the best chance. Lib Dem want PR, because they'll end up with FAR more seats than voters actually want them to have. Tory's want minor change, you can be negative and say better borders will give them a better chance, which is completely fair, or you can be positive and say they want better borders, to negate the massive advantage they give to Labour. Both are fair.
When ANYONE prattles on about one party wanting the fairest system, they are talking out of their behind, each party wants the system that would work best for them and its got absolutely **** all to do with fairness.
