    I’m a salty remainer who detests Farage but there’s something deeply undemocratic when a party can get 10-15% of the vote and achieve no elected parliamentary representation, while the Tories get an unassailable majority with 34% of the vote

    I’ll put up with some Farage-ist mouth breathers in westminster if we actually got some democracy in return

      Exactly.

      See my original comment: “I do agree PR is better than FPTP”.

      It’s good because it’s democratic, not because it particularly favours or dis-favours fascism.
