We have a system in the Welsh Assembly where Labour are propped up by Plaid who never seem to get much more than 20% share of the vote. The cost of Plaid propping up Labour is the implementation of a few barking policies, which is not fair when IIRC only around 4% of the population of Wales tend to vote for Plaid.
What also makes it unfair is lying politicians like Adam Price of Plaid saying "There's no way will Plaid be propping up a Welsh Labour government". I think it was 3 weeks or so later they did a deal to prop them up.
I know we are talking about Westminster, but we saw similar with the Lib Dems propping up the Conservatives for a price. I don't think there should be these sort of dodgy deals which doesn't reflect the wishes of the voters.
