My clever cousin posted this on his facebook profile: 'Just did some sums, according to which the LibDem seats "cost" nearly 120,000 votes each, while the Tory ones cost 35,000 votes each and the Labour ones 33,350. That to me is a real scandal for any self-respecting democracy - and why the current electoral system cannot be tolerated any longer.' (source Gareth Cole) But do people care?
Some do. About 53,000 so far. Still too small to make much difference, but growing rapidly.
