Major, Major Reform Essential

How can Labour have about 200 more seats more than the Lib Dems, yet their %tage of the vote was only about 4-5% more? Its mental!

Cameron is stalking the Lib Dems and they are going to want that referundum, no pledge; no discussions-referendum, full stop. If he won't give that, then the horse trading will be between Labour and the Lib Dems, and, given our system, a Government out of two discredited parties just doesn't make sense-wheres the mandate?

No-one has yet posted how the state of Parliament would look if there had been PR yesterday, is that information available anywhere?
