Backing Blair IX - Dave the Chameleon for Dummies

First past the vote system

First past the vote system favours two party domination and marginalises a plurality of the electorate. I dearly wish Blairwatch, among others, would campaign for proportional represntation that introduces a meaningful and effective third political dimension beyond 'sitting on the fence' Lib Dems. It really doesn't matter if a third force sets out on a 'limited issues' platform as long as they keep the bastards honest. The green movement had been bought off by Blair's smooth talk but he never delivered any oiutcomes beyond holding big PR platforms. The 'green' issue is irrevocably linked to global social justice, humanitarian values and ethics, not issues any of the major parties are really comfortable with. If Blair doesn't get pushed and Labour is shoved in the next election, Labour would pass off Blair as an aberration but they thought the same of Tony Benn.
