More PR for PR
This from today's Independent:
At May's general election, according to the campaigners' report, it took only 26,858 votes to elect a Labour MP, 44,241 to elect a Tory and 98,484 to vote in a Liberal Democrat. Nearly two thirds (65 per cent) of the population did not vote for the present Government and on the results for just England, 60,000 more people voted for the Conservative Party than the Labour Party yet Labour won 92 more seats and was chosen to represent the people.
It's something we've been banging on about for a while.

You mean the Conservatives would have more English seats than anyone else under PR? I like representative democracy, just like it is!
