I’ll cry with you trashboat, we’re on the same… trashy boat, as it were.
Me in Australia: finally something we’re ahead of everyone on
I seem to remember Labour in the UK promising proportional representation in the 1990s, only to win a landslide in 1997 and never mention it again.
LibDems? We did vote for AV, and the 51% idiots voted against it.
AV for Commons, PR for the Lords replacement.
What I find infuriating is that this same meme also happened at the provincial level in Quebec in 2018.
