UKIP should have more MPs

[tinfoilhat]

In general PR systems are based on the national vote, so 35 million vote Labour, 42 million Tory, 16 million UKIP, 7 million LibDem you would in a parliament of 100 would result in 35 Lab, 42 tory, 16 UKIP and 7 LibDem.

 

Based on the vote in 2015: (from BBC)

 

 

You would need a coalition to get a majority, at which point you could have had a UKIP/TORY Brexit majority or a Labour/LibDem/SNP/Green anti-Brexit majority.

 

Basically every vote counts at this point, this would result in the removal of 'tactical voting' and increase the swing in voteshares of parties. It would damage Labour and Conservative and benefit other parties.

 

That last line perfectly highlights why we will never get PR, proper PR in this country. It's not in the interest of the only two winners there has been in nearly a century to change the system to one when they've little chance of winning without the need of a coalition.

I agree, but just one question about a previous post reply of mine, do you consider STVS to be proper PR?
