Re: What right about UK's voting system

I don't like PR at a large level as it tends to the least unpopular rather than the most popular. It sort of can work at a more local or specialised level where differences are lesser.
I do like our unelected, reforming, second house of unpaid peers. Being unelected means that they don't have to worry about being unpopular so can hold the elected once to account and ensure proposed legislation is fit for purpose (at least that is what they are supposed to do), and the hereditary peers provided that consistency where PM's can't (eventually) stuff the house with peers they like.
I think that whatever system we have, some group will be (or feel to be) disadvantaged.

Bacon - ideally thick middle cut (back and streaky), dry cure and smoked cooked with some crisp. I prefer wholemeal bread but white is OK but needs to be good quality and brown sauce. (Bacon, onion and cheese all melted in ciabatta bread - mmm! Cheese melted not the bacon and onion!)
