Is not the word , gerrymander a term of UK origin. ?.. Once they called them rotten boroughs.? So, the Tory plan to reduce the number of riding won't give them an opportunity to gerrymander. ?
Should Labour not see the benefits of PR they are stupid.. UK governments are often a majority government even though the popularity vote does not reflect such.. And that is called democracy. ?. Resulting in Labour often being totally locked out.. When a system based on the popular vote would have put them into power.. Is it not better to share power with a progressive coalition rather than being locked out of government all together. ?
