Yeah, yeah, I figured you meant "major party" but I'm a pedant, so I kinda had to, I'm afraid.
I think you and I have talked before about how a proportional voting system would likely reorganise party politics back along ideological lines -- the specific example you gave was that you and I, for example, could well find ourselves under the same metaphorical roof.
I'm feeling the pinch of ideological voting at the minute, actually; next General Election, the Tories have a really good chance of taking the constituency I live in, and Labour are the only realistic option for keeping them out. But I really don't want to vote Labour...
Maybe I'll see if I could trade my vote with someone in Brighton & Hove to help get Caroline Lucas elected or something.
