PS on PR

Just to add to my comment this morning about the electoral system: "The Guardian's Alan Travis made the startling observation that dividing the number of Labour MPs to their total votes yielded 26,858 per MP. For the Lib Dems, the number was 98,484."
Iow: a Lib Dem MP represents more people but still only gets one vote in Parliament.

 I got a response from my MP which got me kind of mad. You'll see why as I reproduce it here. Apologies for the strange changes in types...
