I am all for more representative elections, but we need a system that will provide us with strong governments. I have yet to see a completely satisfactory system that I could support.

I do not want to see no clear winners in elections and a constant battle to get anything through the House of Commons. That's what we had with the Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition and the present Conservative/DUP coalition.

However, we could have a newly constituted House of Lords elected under PR. As a revising chamber that has the credibility of public consent, the changes it proposes to legislation would be a lot more authoritative than we get from the current unelected, mainly clapped out bunch we have in there now.
