 More proof of how essential is a strong Green Party presence in UK politics. Green Party peers Natalie Benn and Jenny Jones with Labour support acted to stop the government removing regulations on house building which would permit increasing pollution of watercourses. We need proportional representation so badly. Recent poll shows that 19% would vote Green if votes counted.

 @d3df56fb Having moved to Australia seven years ago, I wonder how this chart would work with preferential voting. How many people would vote Green as a #2 choice? More than Tory/Labour?

Preferential voting (and, come to that, compulsory voting) seems to have something going for it.
