This feels like a natural pause point — but not an ending. Up to now, we’ve spent a lot of time circling ethics.

Why Britain Needs Proportional Representation

An indepth look at the results from the recent Uk Local Elections and what they suggest about changes in the attitudes and behaviour of voters, why these changes have occured and potentially how we could rebuild trust. It also contains explanations of why the Labour Party although the significant share of its members wish it to implement Proportional Representation is reluctant to do so. I undertook this analysis and produced this output having realised the following : "There are a few historical exceptions in the UK where a single winning political party secured 50% or more of the vote at a general election: * 1900: The Conservative Party won 51.1% of the vote. * 1931: The Conservative Party, running as part of the National Government, won a record 60.6% (or 60.7%) of the popular vote. * 1935: The Conservative Party, again running as part of the National Government, won 53.3% to 53.7% of the vote. However, 1935 was the last time a single winning party achieved a true majority of the votes cast. In fact, since 1970, no single winning party has even managed to surpass 45% of the popular vote. The only recent instance where the government represented a majority of voters was the 2010 Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition. While neither party achieved 50% individually, their combined vote share was 59.1% (36.1% for the Conservatives and 23.0% for the Liberal Democrats)" If you wish to check out the sources go to - https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/11802df4-17ce-4a30-8b0a-ec79745bc190 [https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/11802df4-17ce-4a30-8b0a-ec79745bc190]
