If the British Parliament were elected by NS players...

What would it look like? Just out of sheer curiosity, I admit. ;)

Edit: Well, the fora went down just as I was trying to put in the poll. Sorry for the delay.

Probably a lot more Liberal Democrats than there are right now.

Probably a lot more Liberal Democrats than there are right now.

Probably a lot more of all the parties, except Labour and Conservative.

Probably a lot more extremes. For example, rather than labour and the conservatives it would be the Green party and the BNP.

Using your PR model?

Yes. If only because there are no constituencies amongst NS players, so we have to go with the overall votes anyway. ;)

I would vote for the Lib Dems. I saw Charles Kennedy on the special edition of the BBC's "Question Time" where they brought in all of the candidates, and I thought he did an excellent job fielding the questions from a tough crowd in the studio audience as well as from that dour man who hosts it.

*nods*

One of the few things I've heard about the Socialist Labour Party is that they want to pull out of the EU, and at that point I lost any idea of supporting them.

Why is it some people persist in seeing tax as robbery rather than as an act of solidarity? Don't you realise that without taxes you wouldn't have social services?

After 17 votes, this is what the hypothetical Parliament would look like:

The Liberal Democrats would have 342 seats – an absolute majority!

The Greens would have 114 seats.

The Loonies, in third place, would have 76 seats.

Labour and the Conservatives would have 38 seats each, as would UKIP.

The other parties would have no seats.

Now this is a Parliament to my liking! :D
