    It's the political system that needs an overhaul, not the voting system

    Majority Rule eh You're given a choice between 2 blokes, both of whom are freemasons and hand picked years in advance, then brought to power through media manipulation and social engineering. The Majority don't have any say in the rules, they just get to place a vote on who makes the rules for them

    Majority rule ? so 60% of electrate turn out to vote and about 30% of them vote Con so thats roughly 20% of the population ... where's the majority there ? also its a good enough system for the Con's to use to choose thier leader...the qusetion to ask is why are they against it ? mabey it will give people a real voice and thats not good for politics is it ? Imagine normal people have a real voice thats just terrible....Oh and have a nice long weekend all

    oh and I diddnt vots for a Conservative Liberal Democrat coalition it was'nt even on the paper but thats what they gave us apparently thats what we wanted......... ok im off my soapbox

    I understand your point, but firstly I feel lucky to live in a democratic environment, secondly I feel lucky that at least we are free to discuss and input into the type of voting system we prefer.

    I'm still waiting for someone to provide their own views on a proven alternative.
    Still nothings perfect

    Maybe we should make voting a legal requirement and criminalise those who disagree? I've got a feeling they do that in some EU countries.??

    It's the electorates fault for not being bothered to vote.

    There's no excuses, even the postal method is open to anyone now unlike in the past.

    It's everyones duty to vote. The present voting system is just and fair.

    I wonder how many of that non voting 40% are whinging and whining about the present coalition? A great many. They only have themselves to blame.

    Like the census, they should make it a legal obligation to vote.
