One of the most common criticisms levelled at PR systems is that they would create a perpetual Labour-Lib Dem coalition Government. Today’s announcement about a Conservative-Lib Dem coalition clearly demonstrates that politicians from both the right and left can find enough common ground to work together.

This is the type of grown-up, compromise Government that so many of us have been looking forward to. Hopefully the days of British politicians endlessly trying to score points over each other and bickering like children will become a thing of the past. The public have had enough of their politicians behaving badly.
