The seat make up would look more like the left if we had a more fair and accountable proportional representation over the obsolete first past the post.

Well the fact that other parties wouldn't agree with the Liberals' solution didn't help (even though it would have been better than what we have at the moment).

You’re giving the liberals too much slack here when they need more pressure to do the right thing. The smaller parties and independents only want a fairer system that the most democracies use such as Norway or Sweden, which is proportional representation.

People don’t want to be forced into two camps they don’t like.
