As the right (well the Conservatives actually) stare disaster in the face, commentators on the Right have started to wonder about the appeal of proportional representation (PR) as opposed to First Past the Post (FPTP).
Odd that, isn't it? people are always satisfied with FPTP right up to the time it doesn't get them into government.
I've always thought PR was a good idea, so the Right's 'conversion' should be seen as a good thing... but after a landslide Labour's support may wane!
