All my life, well until recently, I've been in favour of proportional representation as an electoral system, however, just before the referendum a while back, we saw a version of PR in action with the election of the new Labour party leader, whereby the lowest common denominator won. Regardless of your political leanings, the current incumbent is probably second only to Michael Foot in the LCD stakes. Thereafter we had the referendum about the sh one tee crippled and useless system proposed by the politicians. For both myself and Fay (Both as already noted lifelong advocated of PR) it was deluge of cold water, and it caused us to re-assess. Where does this leave democracy... In a bit of a hole, but at least we do have a democracy unlike a lot of other places we see on the box. I guess one small positive ATM. During this economically bad time, we do at least have two parties pulling *mostly* in the same direction. Dave -- Dave Triffid
