I would like to stand but the current electoral system means I have no hope of ever being elected.

For your own party?
Yeah but the Tories managed to successfully exploit people's fears of a Lab/SNP coalition to win seats in England. The SNP were delighted to push those buttons too.
Edit: So how then can we make mob rule more fair for the mob? I hear chat about proportional representation.
PR is a great system and it works extremely well down here in Australia, where it has given real teeth to microparties in the Senate. I'm not sure you'd get the full benefit of PR in the UK, which doesn't have a proper house of review.
Or a sane public. Look what happened to LD. How would any vote make it through under PR. PR is all about compromise something the electorate absolutely crucified LD for doing.
Just goes to show the mob is fickle, which is why PR is not necessarily a good idea.
I have to say I do feel sorry for the LibDems and what they've experienced is yet another effect of our fundamentally flawed system.
They've obviously been punished heavily for their perceived "sell out" in forming a coalition with the Conservatives but what exactly where they supposed to do?
