Investigative Journalist
NOT The BCfm Politics Show 
Martin Summers is bang on. proportional representation is a much more democratic electoral process. Our electoral systems in both the US and UK leave many voices and issues out of government. the more parties in parliament or in US congress the better. Coalition governments have to give their minority partner or partners some of their agenda to bring forth. Like the Lib-Dems initiative for a referendum for proportional representation even though it was not voted for(did you ever have that referendum or did Klegg sell out?)
