They do not get majorities....otherwise we would get governments that had a working majority to get the policies through the house.
We get 'hobbled' governments. Governments that cannot get policies passed without the support of(in the case of Cameron) Lib/Dems.....and their agenda was totally different to that of the Tory party....in the case of T.May....she had to rely on the DUP to bolster her government.

There is absolutely no likelihood of a party getting into power with a workable majority unless proportional representation is adopted.

If 24% of the electorate vote Tory, 23% vote Lib/Dem 14% vote independent(or a mix of the minor parties) and the remainder vote Labour(39%).....it looks like Labour had a majority...but the fact remains that 61% of the electorate are disappointed with the results....and I know I am bad at math, but 61% IS the majority here.

The more parties there are to share the votes and the less likely it is that we get effective government.
The parties ideologies are so far apart that two parties in tandem running the country is good for nobody.


The Labour Party lost sight of its core voters a long time ago.(New Labour were lilac....a mix of Tory and labour ideals)...and now with the current leader it is even further away from the people it was formed to support.
They appear to think that the electorate are ill educated.....and not fit to make decisions about the future.
Maybe they would like to adopt Soviet principles of re-education of those who are seen as dissenters.

They have practised 'constructive fudging'( by refusing to give a clear stance on Brexit)...in the hope that the in fighting in the Tory party will see it off and leave the political door open for them
JC has made no bones about his dislike of the EU in the past, but his strings are being pulled by those who would cancel article 50....keeping us firmly in the EU
