And that is why Proportional Representation is not necessarily more democratic

The BBC are reporting that:
'Lib Dem MPs should have a veto on policies put forward by the coalition government, the party's deputy leader says, as the coalition reaches its 100th day in power.'
Remember that the next time someone sings the praises of proportional representation as a voting system, the small parties gain too much power over the large ones - why else do you think the Lib Dems are so in favour?

  1. I doubt very much that the Lib Dems would like it if the shoe was on the other foot and the Tories vetoed all their pet legislation either.
