David Cameron: “Why do we want a system used by only Australia, Fiji and Papua New Guinea?” He’s implying here that because only a few countries use it, it must be a bad thing. Hmmm… let’s look for a system with more support. Totalitarian dictatorships!
These currently exist in the following countries: Libya, Iran, Syria, Zimbabwe, North Korea, Rwanda, Belarus, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Angola, Liberia, Guinea-Bissau, Sudan, Chad, The Gambia, Central African Republic, Venezuela, Cuba, Myanmar and Thailand. This clearly indicates this is a system we should be aspiring to. I bet Cameron would really like this idea. Not only do votes “only get counted once” but there’s only one person to vote for… no more coalitions, let’s rock Dave!
