    Yes Reform would have far more seats under PR, but I don’t believe that changes the overarching principle of the matter: fair and representative representation based on votes cast.

    Singling out a bogeyman doesn’t answer the principle. Do you want people to feel like their vote counts? That’s the important part for me.

      The party list system would mean that Nigel Farage was never out of parliament in the last ages. He would win every time.

        He would win as long as people want him to win, surely? The question is do you think that’s more democratic or not?
