I struggle to understand the mindset of those who take a negative view of PR - I acknowledge all the negatives of the system from a purist point of view - but what we need to focus on is how ukip can maximise its message and its presence. Advocating a system of PR is by far the best way of maximising our influence in the near term - just look at all the excitement about the Welsh Assembly. We need to realise that this is serious stuff - its not about a jolly club of like minded people - we owe the people of this country more than that - and that means using whatever means we can to maximise our impact on the national scene.
