Brown's AV Fiddle: Now We Know

on Iain Dale's Diary from 4 weeks ago

Newmania,

You mean you aren't ashamed already? Wow.

Yes small parties have often called for PR but they are no more acting out of self interest than large parties in blocking it. The difference is that while a party that is currently massively under represented might want proper representation, the larger parties tend to be fixated on retaining their own disproportionate level of representation. PR is at least defensible from the position of principle whereas FPTP can only be defended out of self-interest.

Thus I win.
