Quote ="Mintball"It's interesting watching parties such as the Pirate Party gain some ground on the Continent in various places.
Do you think such a think could take off over here? There is a UK Pirate Party already.
And what about parties that are already established such as the Greens?'"
The status quo of FPTP elections will ensure that, without a massive swing to the likes of the Greens and in concentrated areas, the effects will be limited to what the two major parties do policy-wise to prevent leakage of their own support to minor parties.
I.e. it depends on which of the main two parties leaks the most.
