Reply #33: So you think all those who want electoral reform are just 'discounting the system'? [View All]

And I would question whether it has always 'worked'. Excessive parliamentary majorities for leaders with small pluralities aren't always a good thing.

I don't want to end up with the government totally hijacked by small fringenut parties, as happens in some countries, so we have to think carefully about the reforms but that doesn't mean we need them.

'I am very much cheered by current results, and maybe next time it will be even better.'

Well, I'm very *relieved* that the Tories have to share power; but 'very much cheered' by the overall result would be a bit strong. 'Next time would be even better' = the Tories not getting in at all!
