Imho, the tories are going to lurch further right, then probably split.
But who knows!

    It doesn't, correct. But my point is that the centre ground has to compromise more because of their very nature. It's inherently less extreme that the far right or far left. Literally by definition.

    Whilst there is a danger that "nothing gets done" in a coalition of the centre ground (which I think your poo meme is getting at?) I think the dialogue and willingness to accept compromise is better there. I'd rather have a government and politics on that basis than extreme lurches to the left and right with zero room for compromise if you're not in one group or the other.

    So no, it's not a silver bullet. You're right. But that's just where I'd rather be. PR as the form of government election voting in the UK and then to fill the house with a true representation of the country, which I don't believe is as extreme as the current system portrays it.

      Compromise is not what is needed, progress is what is needed. You want to maintain a broken status quo with a prettier face
