True - the europhile political establishment in our country would only bring in proportional representation (PR) voting for UK General Elections if they could find a PR system which UKIP could not win under.
And if UKIP did start winning seats under PR voting in a General Election the europhiles would very quickly change the system back to First-Past-The-Post (i.e. FPTP - the voting system used now for British General Elections).
In France when small parties started to win seats in the French Parliament under PR the French President at the time (Mitterrand) speedily moved back to a variation of FPTP.
