What are people's thoughts on this then? Would Cleisthenes be spinning in his grave, or is it a neat way to put two fingers up to an archaic voting system?

We need PR. Things like this just highlight what is already obvious. It's stupid that people need to swap their vote just to make it count and even then it will only work on national issues. |  |

The last thing we need is proportional representation who in their right mind would want coalition after coalition.We do need to find a better way either a single transferable vote until someone had 50%+1 or a second ballot a few days later between the top two for each constituency. Not of course if in the first ballot a candidate polled more than 50% of the votes cast. |  |

The latter. Any way more votes will actually count is a good thing.
The "sacred" link to the local MP has already been devalued by the complication of voting for a government at the same time. |  |

Yeah. If people are desperate to vote on local issues, they're not gonna use this site. | |

Why shouldn't our elected representatives work together like adults? Why shouldn't everyone's vote count fully? | |

Coalition's by their very definition ought to be more representative of a broader spectrum of the public. I'm not sure why anyone would be so against them. It's a nonsense really that a party can govern more or less with impunity with under 40% of the public vote. Just over 11m people voted Tory in 2015, should that really give them a mandate to govern the entire country? That's around 1 in 5 of the voting age population. |  |

Once you have PR, you'll *never* get rid of the Tories. Be careful what you wish for. |  |
