  The deal regarding voting reform is a referendum on the AV system, this is not PR. A referendum will be supported by Conservatives but then they will be free to campaign against it (David Cameron will do so). All part of the dal.
  
  I really dont understand you Marek.
  
  The people elected a parliament and sadly it is hung and the politicians have to make the most of it and act in the best interests of the country. The deal that has been agreed is potentially the most stable available from a unenviable situation. Yet you brand it 'prostituting' - what on earth do you expect?
  
  We are at war, we have an unprecedented financial crisis, the country needs strong leadership and yet you whinge away. Two party leaders, including the one who gained the largest vote share and most seats in parliament, have put aside their differences in a mature way, negotiated a deal and are able to provide that strong leadership. They should be commended for that by anyone sensible for placing the country first.
  
  If you are suggesting that we should have PR then you would be institutionalising hung parliaments and therefore what you desribe as prostituting would become the norm. I dont like it, I want clear cut majorities in the first past the post system but I am able to accept the best deal available now. Why cant you? and stop being so meally mouthed about it.....
