Less than half the popular vote via FPTP is not a mandate to impose

Only by sheer fluke.



OK, so you don't like the government therefore it must be unfair. I wonder
if you thought that when Maggie was reforming the unions, fighting for
control of the country from Scargill and battling for the British rebate
from Europe. I, for one, am convinced none of these things would have been
possible under the European PR system.

Personally, I'd far rather have our system that PR with the "never fired
politicians".
