conservatives win on a toss of a coin...how democratic is that

A nice game of unreal tournament or rock paper scissors would have been fairer¬!

If that's the official process in the case of a tied vote following a recount, what's the problem?

I assume this has something to do with the ellections? If so I hope it's a joke :confused:

If a party wins on tossing I know now why there are so many tossers...

How else would you have them decide the outcome of a tied vote?

Fight to the death would get my vote. That way its win/win. We lose one politician, and gain the better man

We'd probably just get the sneaky one that blindsided his opponent when he wasn't looking, no different to present really but you are right we'd be one politician down (or is that up since it is a net gain to the country?). Actually thinking about it, I'm all for this strategy.

Bet there are a few Liberal Democrat voters in that constituency kicking themselves today for forgetting to go to vote.
