I think 'first past the post' is a way outdated system, it makes everything seat based rather than voter based.

That's why the DUP have ten times more seats than the greens despite getting about half of the votes the greens got. Its also why Blair got a parliamentary majority in 2005 despite getting 35% of the vote and Atlee lost to Churchill in 1951 despite getting more votes.

Yet we call the EU undemocratic.


"The concessions by the UK in December were solely due to it's desperation to move onto the second phase of negotiations.

That's exactly what I meant. No solution has been found,so its been kicked into the long grass. But now the UK has backtracked on that "concession".
Don't be surprised if there is no settlement and the tories go for a very hard brexit, may has already shown she will put 20 odd mps before the country.
