Chaos, you know, it's not all bad
Stephen thanks God that we don’t have proportional representation. I’m not convinced about the arguments for or against quite yet but I do fail to see the acuteness of the problem that Stephen has with it:
Thank God we don’t have PR – a result like this would have led to chaos.Chaos perhaps, but only in terms of the machinery of the state. The rest of us would have just carried on doing what we do regardless completely unaware of what all the fuss is about. More to the point, those pesky kids of the mystery machine that is Westminster would have been left less able to meddle in our lives.
So, I take on board what he says but can’t help feeling it actually helps the argument for PR.
