Democracy in the UK is the management of resources by an elected governing body. The problem largely stemming from the electoral system where there is no proportional representation (PR). It is this fundamental argument that colours both the Conservatives and Labour as fascist parties by arguing against the sharing of power. They both think they are able to run the country without due consideration of others and want an 'absolute' majority; need I say more.

Example 1
In an example of only two parties, the Cons and the Labs. With a population of some 68 million (100%) and an electorate of some 47 million (75%), some 30 million people (50%) are expected to vote.

These 30 million elect 650 members to parliament, who's role would appear to be - representing the people to the crown. It is worth noting here that parliament does no such thing but uses this age old notion to justify it's own agenda of maintaining power.

Should each of the constituencies vote by a margin of 1 and all for the same party, lets say the Labs then we would have 650 MPs elected by 15 million and 650 Labour MPs, all toeing the party line, with no opposition. With proportional representation each party would be given 325 MPs and would have to co-operate to manage the resources on behalf of the 30 million that chose to vote.

For whatever the reason the Lib Dems have clearly supported PR which no doubt other so called 'minority parties' do or would be inclined to.

Under PR we are talking approx 1 MPs per &lt: 50,000 million votes (650 / 32.2 million)

In this last election it would give close to
Cons 273 :: Labs 257 :: Libs 47 :: UKIP 12 :: Greens 10
SNP 19 :: DUP 6 :: PC 3 :: Others :: 35

The prospect of a minority government is clear, although it begs the question why minority. There is only an historic constitutional need to form a government for the queen. The reality is the government has for the last few centuries been for the people and as such it should be proportionally represented, not lorded over by some tossers who use the last vestiges of monarchy as an excuse to dictate to the masses from their high chair.

• In Example 1, above, 50% of the electorate (25% of the population) would govern on the basis of 650 votes with no opposition.
  With PR both parties would represent 25% of the population and it wouldn't matter which party got the extra 650 votes
• This election sees a government with 42.4 + 0.9 (43.3)% of voters support.
  That's some 21% of the population with an opposition of 25% of the population.
• In 1983 the Lab and Lib got respectively 8.5 million and 7.8 million votes, yet Lab had 209 MPs and Lib 23. The 1987 results highlight the issue.
• This election sees a government with 43.3 + 0.9 (43.3)% of voters support.
  That's some

There is only one good reason to vote for either the Cons or Labs and that is to continually unseat the incumbent and bring about a clear call for change at an electoral level.

There are, to my eyes, policies in each party that elude to PR and are shown by the downgrading of the state monopoly and the acknowledgement of freedoms. Sadly the so called working class party is arguably the worst of the lot and the closest to fascist rulers using social guilt to acquire an army of supporters who become dependent upon their hand outs.
