You criticise a PR ssteym – and purists would argue it isn’t strictly proportional anyway in London elections because “That ssteym has given us a BNP member and a number of Green and UKIP members and a toothless scrutiny body.â€A/ The ssteym in 2008 elected one BNP member and 2 Greens to the London Assembly. No UKIP member was elected. B/ 130,714 (misguided) fools voted for the BNP across London. 203,465 people voted for the Greens. That’s a lot of people who voted for ‘their ‘ Party. Why should almost 14% of the people who voted in those part of the Assembly elections be denied a voice?C/ When people know their vote may count, maybe turnout will rise from it’s current miserable level of just over 60% overall in the 2005 General Election.D/ Get the next – likely to be – Conservative government to give the London Assembly more powers and allow it to properly hold a Mayor to account. The present ssteym allows too much power in the hands of one man.One final point. Just because you may not like what the BNP or Greens say, and neither do I, the way to defeat them is not to deny them representation. That’s a very slippery slope.
