The truth behind those Lib Dem claims...

For all those of you who have filled many a recycling bin over the years with Lib Dem Focus leaflets claiming that 'only the Lib Dems can beat Labour/ Tories here' (usually accompanied by a highly misleading graph showing an extrapolation of the European election result or a 2004 parish council by-election or sometimes, I suspect, just completely made up) you might enjoy this:

Looks like a pretty good advert for electoral reform, then.

If the Lib Dems can't win, no electoral reform is needed.

What Steve said.

If we can't get out of the red-blue flip-flop trap, then blue it is next time. Just as I welcomed red in 1997 until your colleagues ushered in the authoritarian and technologically-ignorant RIPA.

Kerry I agree with your point, having recycled many such, but also with Steve. The current system leaves the choice of who governs to a small minority of consituencies and constituents.
