So Nick Clegg (22% of the vote) gets to decide if the trade unions (via labours electoral college) will select Britains next Prime Minister. In which case Scottish labour MP's and SNP MP's will get to decide on education system for Englands children.

Think anyone will vote for PR in a referendum?

Plenty will, but you've got to hope that the sensible majority would vote against it.

No let's keep the system, where the party who got 23% of the vote, gets only 8% of the say in the commons.

PR & further constitutional reform resulting in a properly federal United Kingdom where Scottish MPs don't get to vote on issues affect only England and vice versa...

I do love our politics though, it properly reminds me of ancient greece
