The real loss here has been the AV referendum in 2011. It blows my mind how dense the electorate was for keeping the FPTP system.

Now the Tories have realized that they can spew bullshit lies and win an election with minimal consequences. They also have discovered how much easier it is to game the damn failing electoral system. (e.g. in Cam I have seen Tory pamphlets pushing for Lib Dems or Labour just to split the left vote).

It was a travesty that No won the AV referendum.
