Why I'm in favour of Proportional Representation
According to the BBC, the current polls show Lib Dems on 33%, Conservatives on 32%, Labour on 26%.
Which would give a seat allocation of Conservatives: 246, Labour 241, Lib Dems: 134.
Or, in a more easily digestible table format:
It should be pretty fucking obvious that this is an electoral system that is fucked in the head.

Android has trebled to 9% in the last few months. Apple is on 25%, so it's got a way to go, but it's doing pretty well, so far as I can tell. I'm getting an HTC Desire next, and last I heard Orange and O2 can't actually keep them on the shelves right now.
