Yes. They were on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet, stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying “Beware of the Leopard.”

It seems to be working now, I switched browsers. It didn't like firefox for some reason. Maybe the pop ups were blocked. Anyway, relieved I can now contine my important contributions to the intellectual life of our nation.*

*Also a joke!!

I seem to be having problems too. It keeps bouncing me back to the home page when I click 'create a commenter account.' Hmmm....

To be fair, she's only been an MP for a week, and doesn't even have a constituency office yet. Aside from the symbolism of such a visit, which I grant you is undeniably important, I'm not sure what practical support she could provide without an office or staff to assist constituents.

Good for them. We can't complain that young people don't get involved in politics and then turn around and mock them when they do.

I agree, STV as proposed in B.C. was terribly complicated. One of the things that turned me off most was the sheer size of the proposed constituencies under STV, each of which would be represented by 3 or 4 MLAs. How do you hold 3 or 4 different MLAs accountable for one vast constituency? Very challenging. I was told at the time that MMP would have been a better choice, but was not put forward as an option.

And FPP, though much maligned, does have certain points in its favour, like the ability to form clear majority governments with strong mandates. Admittedly this an unappealing feature when it's your team that's down, but still not something I'd throw out lightly. I'm still open to the idea of proportional representation, but it would depend strongly on the proposed system.

I guess we'll find out tomorrow what our friends across the pond have to say on the issue.

There's one in every group.

Just one of the reasons I'm still not 100% sold on proportional representation, no matter how appealing it is in theory. FPP may not deliver the same kind of democratic representation we sometimes crave, especially when we don't like the outcome of an election, but it does deliver long periods of stability, and allows governments to make quick decisions that might otherwise hinge on endless debate and negotation. It will be interesting to see what happens in the UK referendum Thursday.

Unlike all those impeccable Conservative backbenchers, who never say or do anything crazy or embarrassing.

Indoctrinated? With a preference for pipe cleaner sculpture over macaroni picture frames? Or is it the unrestricted access to glitter you're worried about?
