If Mordaunt becomes leader who would be Tory leader after the GE? Only a 15k majority...

Mordaunt would be the Tories 6th PM in a decade - there have only ever been 6 Labour PM's ever

Which system would vote in a small c Conservative Party with 100% green policies? It’s quite a niche set of parameters.

At the end of the day the system should be as representative as possible to the views of the electorate. I personally don't agree with most of the great British public. But that's democracy.

It generally does though. I’m not against PR, but all it would really do is make the extremes more relevant.

It doesn't though as the majority of the electorate were to the left of the Tories but the tories got a massive majority in the house of commons.

If you look at the % of votes for each party you can see its nothing like representative. The system itself even skews the actual vote.

People would use their vote differently in different systems though.

If we had PR this lot wouldn't have even got in, that's the biggest selling point you could ever get.
