Here we go again and, the pity is, it's true each time !
"All our troubles are down to the other lot. We are only hurting you because they have forced us to. It would be worse if we didn't. We can't upset the City gents. That would be even worse than worse." Bye bye Sir Fred.

It's an unwritten law of First Past The Post.
When they are forced to give us what we want and need, Single Transferrable Votes, and all parties have a hand in government, it won't wash any more.
We'll all have a part in government and can avoid the rotating damage each generation has to suffer, from single party extremes when they pass the baton.
