Talking with lifelong #Labour activist (not #Corbyn fan..) over #Christmas, I was told "I support FPTP cos constituency link is really important". I then explained there are forms of PR that keep constituency link like #STV used in #Ireland & it was NEWS! cc @MakeVotesMatter

The whole point of FPTP was to have a local representative but as there are no requirements for a candidate to have ever visited the constituency before the election and no requirement to visit the constituency after the election then that link is broken!

I was explaining FPTP to a Scottish friend just after the election and he was under the impression it was good because of the majority win each seat, he had not realised a majority isnt needed. I pointed out Swinson got just 149 votes less than SNP and both just got over 1/3rdpic.twitter.com/W1z5HtUm8M

He changed his mind on the system after, he preferred the French system where you do need 50% or there is a run off
