Something's gotta give

We are still waiting for the result. It seems that now the election will hang on the election or otherwise of an AD candidate from the 10th.

To my mind this indicates the need for a radical overhaul of the electoral system. The Single Tranferable Vote has been bastardised over the last twenty years making it inefficient and unrepresentative. We should work for a fool-proof system which apart from being mathematically consistent, does not disenfranchise a part of the electorate.

For the sake of democracy we should have a system which allows a plurality of voices in parliament. This will improve the quality of all the parties who will not take us the people for granted.
