PR makes politicians listen, it makes them compromise, it makes them plan for more than the next 5 years. It helps people engage with politics and it makes people feel their votes matter.

As a conservative supporter, the current system suits you down to the ground. It means a minority always gets to dictate to the majority.
Yes, I'm sure the Germans found the recent political negotiations to form a coalition riveting.

As for your strange view that our system benefits conservatives as you suggest, perhaps you could explain 1997-2010.

No, it's very straight forward, actually. The people were asked - should we stay or should we go? The people said go. So we go.

I'm struggling to understand why some people find this such a difficult concept to grasp.

There is no abyss - only opportunity.
