Kelzie said:Maybe not chaos, so much as more like America? It is very hard to get laws passed here, because the houses are so divided, which is what Britain would have with proportional representation. It creates an artificial majority, which can be helpful sometimes, unless it is abused. I find it interesting that the only party that calls for proportional representation is the one that's not in power. Labour was calling for it too, before they won, with Conservatives shooting it down. Now the situation's reversed.
As Naughty said, politicians are hypocrites, it's true the system has failings, as all do, but I think it works better then pr would.

Phoney Bliar?...but isn't it Ton...oh, wait, I get it!:lol:
Er, yes, anyways...I'd just like to throw this other bone into the debate...it seems that not only did Labour win with the smallest percentage of the vote in a loooong time, but it also turns out that they actually got less seats in England then the tories...do we need a seperate English Parliament? Like Scotland and Wales?
