FPTP is not democratic, so no I will not respect the result tomorrow. Referenda are democratic & Proportional Representation is democratic.

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

It is the system we have and have had for 200+ years. Exactly what is or is not 'democratic' is endlessly debatable.

David - the fact it was a system thought up 200+ years ago tells its own story! It's not fit for purpose in 2017 and beyond!

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

We have never been offered a referendum on Proportional Representation. AV is worse than FPTP & I voted against. Tories don't want PR.
