Pretty clear he wants people to vote LibDem.
Would a "silent revolution" actually be a bad thing? He talks about it sweeping aside a two party system which holds us back...although he seems to think this is bad?
Who knows how that would look but this two party system is a lot to blame foe why we are here where we are now.
I have no idea
he's waffling on about here though...
Yep, we are all rioters. Idiot. More scaremongering...popularism?
The kind of thing that comes out of the mouths of the very people he is criticising.
I don't think the multiple party voting works unless you have proportional representation then you get smaller parties able to leverage the actual vote that they get in the HoC.
We are not a 2 party political system, we are a first past the post system that advantages larger parties that may only gather 60-70 % of the vote amongst them and it diminishes the vote that the smaller parties get.
Proportional representation also would have meant that UKIP would have been able to leverage on behalf of Brexiteers more in the HoC as Greens & Lib Dems would have been able to push the Green agenda more.
I can't believe that the Lib Dems let the Tories push them into that Alternate Voting system rubbish during the coalition.
