Labour's rotten boroughs
Boris Johnson has an apposite posting on the unfairness of the Westminster electoral system. If all three main parties achieved the same number of votes, Labour would be able to win three times as many seats as the Liberal Democrats, and twice as many as the Tories - not that first-past-the post is a fair system in the beginning.

Maybe this is a good opportunity to commend Boris-Johnson.com as one of the liveliest, friendliest of the southern blogs. Boris may be a Tory, but many of those who follow his blog and make comments are not, including Tim Ireland who set it up in the first place. Melissa Crawshay-Williams, who looks after the site on a day-to-day basis, encourages broad participation irrespective of party. Good old ‘one nation’ tories of the past would be proud.
