Quote Eagle_SA at 09 May 2015 10.15pm I really loathe this lot but it does seem crazy that they're the third biggest party in terms of percentage of votes and yet only have one MP. It just goes to show how screwy the system is. You called me a 'Cnut' a few days ago. Glad that you are reasoned and balanced and can make an unemotional decision.
