Noticeable that very little is coming out of the meetings between the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives about forming a coalition/partnership etc other than meaningless platitudes.
Should PR become our electoral system such meetings will become the normative behaviour of our political elites.
It cannot be said too often: the consequence of PR is to transfer power from the ballot box to politicians. Deals will be struck between politicians, not with the electorate in manifesto commitments.
It won't take long for people to realise their powerlessness under PR. Then what will happen? Look at France as an example: street demonstrations, riots, strikes, civil disobedience.
