        What about Proportional Representation of Candidates? Why No Lib-Dem Candidates of Gypsy or Traveller Heritage?

        Well then it's a vicious circle. You can't elect somebody who isn't a candidate.

        The Alternative Vote - on which we had a referendum in 2011 - is *not* PR. With AV Parliament would now be even *less* proportional! pic.twitter.com/IBxmvLCBWZ
