However, 45 per cent of those asked in the survey still preferred having a single local MP for each constituency, and are split on whether governments should be made up of a single party or multiple parties.

The author left out the fact that the single transferable vote and mixed-member proportional both have local representation. It’s only the party lists branch of the proportional representation family that lacks the local representation.

Yep but inless that half is prepared to vote on that. Over everything else.

The main parties will continue to ignore it.
