Adrian Giddings: While the representation bit is obviously problematic I do like the fairness of that (I was aware it was a thing). Much like paired (not) voting in the Commons.

I support everyone’s right to vote as seems best to them. Having said that if you have the choice of a moderate Left government (vs a fascist Right) & you choose not to vote for them because you’re so angry with them for not being further to the Left… I reserve my right to find that reasoning silly

I am British and excited about our upcoming moderate Left government. There are things I disagree with them on! That’s OK, I can give my all to influencing them and they might actually pay attention, unlike a right wing government which definitely won’t.

I'm not voting for them because they haven't a hope in hell where I live, but I'm definitely not voting Tory. We so need to ditch FPTP.

Pragmatic vote-analysis reasons to vote for another party are not silly at all!

Have a friend who was in Bercow’s constituency. I had no idea nobody puts up a candidate against the speaker, whilst the speaker doesn’t really represent constituents or even their own party. A whole electoral ward whose votes don’t actually count at all.
