That is how distorted UK democracy has become under first past the post. Canada should take note.
Proportional representation means real majority rule. It is time to demand change

The same thing was said about New Zealand and now they have mixed-member proportional. The tories and labour would pass pr if enough people protest for it.
I like your optimism, but Labour have had it on their manifesto a few times and then once they get in power quietly drop it. Also there was a referendum a decade ago when the Lib Dems threw their lot in with the Tories just to try and get AV implemented.
They lost that referendum badly.
