  I'm all for it.
  
  A few thing strike me about this though. Firstly the debate is ridiculous and full of crazy scaremongering. Secondly I'm not sure why we are bothering as the outcome is obvious, in that I don't think it will be voted in!
  
  If 'crazy' parties like the BNP are likely to benefit from this system, why are they against it? Small turn outs and apathy towards our middle of the road parties with no dialectic under out FPTP system is more likely to result in the success of extreme parties.
  
  DC is obviously against it, resorting to stupid comments like 'it's unbritish' which in itself suggests that he is desperate for an argument against. If we vote something in, then surely by definition it is 'British', which is the point of this referendum. I don't see how comments like this help anyone. If it is voted in DC will contest it on low turnout...and this is British?
  
  Additionally Mr Cameron has said that 'it is too complicated'. Coming from a man that explained 'big society' so badly that it's architects doubt it's success. if Mr Cameron can't get his head around this, then surely he is not fit for the the job. On the other hand if he contemptuously thinks that we can't get our heads around it, he is not fit for the job either.
  
  Only a majority vote will tell. Perhaps by this system the Conservative would have got voted in properly?
