25. 52% Labour-Liberal Democrats v. 36% Conservatives - 'Proportional' Voting
Edited on Thu May-13-10 02:38 PM by autorank
The point of the article wasn't to show Clegg's allegiance to STV, that was out the door from the start.
The point was the combined 52% for Labour-Liberal Democrats. That's an alliance of ideology and programs to a much greater degree than the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition. In terms of representing the GREATEST PROPORTION of the electorate. That's the goal of STV or proportional voting - proportional representation of the views of the voting public. It couldn't be more clear.
