There has never been a better time to push proportional representation. The two main parties, who are so loath to lose the total power they take in turn after the other has lost all trust, are both too busy struggling to find new images and survive to divert their attention away from that.
There are two years to promote the case for it and the promise of every vote counting in the next election. If the lib Dems promise to go straight back to the election after a victory, what have we got to lose?
Only one or other of the deadly duo gaining total power with the backing of a tiny percentage of voters. They will use the most terrifying arguments against it happening.
