Government by acronym

The STV (Single Transferable Vote) is now the most important voting criterion. It is the only way I can see to obtain a trustworthy government. The FPTP (First Past the Post) system delivers governments representing a minority, which descend into disaster as they pull every stroke to maintain their hold. For GB (Gordon Brown), some kind of PR (Proportional Representation) is his only hope so for him it’s just another slimy trick. However, there is just a chance of a coalition government representing the people more equably, and, just as important, less corruptible by the establishment paymasters. You will not see the Tory press supporting PR.
