Thank god the election campaign is over. Now can everyone please respect the outcome, regardless of how YOU voted? It's called "democracy".
FPTP is not democratic, so no I will not respect the result tomorrow. Referenda are democratic & Proportional Representation is democratic.

Under proportional representation, rural communities would not matter. Wrong don't you think?
-
Why wouldn't they? We've policies in our manifesto to help rural communities & candidates from such areas

Does that mean you would not respect the result if Labour win? Or are you just resigned to another defeat?

And it's not indecisive. It encourages collaboration, checks and balances and stops one party dictating. There are zero reasons to keep FPTP
-
Apart from the fact that we voted for it a few years ago in a referendum

In a referendum between FPTP and AV!!! PR wasn't put forward. Why? Because Tories knew it could have won. Simple as that.
