I am disappointed that Ben Habib and Nigel Farage can not be brought back together by Richard Tice. I know that there are some gaps in their detailed thinking, but their ideology is very close. Personally I tend to agree with Ben that PR wouldn't work for the reforms that are needed (first step being to reverse all Blairs anti representative actions with quasi governmental bodies and quangos) I cannot see how a PR solution will enable this actually happening. A clear majority is needed to re-establish actual representative government.
