1. Well they don’t. The Greens, UKIP and Liberal Dems need to quit their crying and take a lesson from Scottish National Party and learn how to play the game.

2. A nice, concise article and chart. The comments appended at the bottom of the link are all quite interesting. The term “tactical voting” is so English when compared to our “voting for the lesser of two evils.”

3. What good is proportional representation if there isn’t proportional decision making?

   If 56% of the voters favor a tax increase, and 44% are against, wouldn’t the fairest system be to increase the taxes for the 56% who favor higher taxes, and keep them the same for the other 44%? Or better yet, add a 3rd option to lower taxes, so that some of the 44% might vote for lower taxes?
