British Election 2010: Leaders Jockey For Power After VoteThe joy of proportional representation, and the reason neither Tories or Labour want it, is that it results in every parliament being a hung parliament - leaving the centrist Liberal party holding the balance of power in all governments.
Many folks in Britain like this idea - as a constant brake on the wing-nuts. Others are perplexed by an "improvement" that prevents a party with 36% of the vote from being "the majority" by handing the balance of power to a party with 23% of the vote.
