"It wasn't intended as a personal insult - just a fact that it was a dumb analogy that makes no sense. And indeed it doesn't."

But you still didn't actually say why.

Please qualify your remark.

erm you seem to have confused the title - it should read 'Why did my analogy about people wanting porridge not relate very well to the massively complex question of how best to elect a national government'

So for the third time you can't qualify it and now you make a silly remark about the thread title?

Good input. It's the correct title because other people can also continue their conversations, which they inevitably will do with an imflammitary topic such as this. But well done.

I'll break it down into simple speak:

Question 1: "Do you want porridge?"

Answer 1: Yes

Answer 2: No

Answer 3: Maybe

Answer 4: I need more information...

Question 2: "What do you think would be the best way to elect a national government?"

Answer 1: er, well er..

Come on - this is just as simple as do you want porridge or not? You must know if you like porridge?

But I haven't tried porridge before. Is it with with milk or water?

Sugar maybe?

No, it's cold porridge.

Oh

OK I'll put some honey in it.

Local honey?

No - the cheap honey. We need to make cutbacks. And you need to get out and do some work to earn your porridge anyway..

But I haven't said if I want porridge yet, I was thinking maybe toast..

TOAST?!

I think you may be a little mad.

Question.

Do you want the same thing you've had for the past eighty years or so (not actually sure) or do you want to change it up.

Not enough information? it's called the internet and there were several web portals set up with the information.

As well as a for and against groups that did adverts in which the only party for was the lib dems. the others were against because that system would have given libs full power.

So porridge is the system we have had every year for the past christ knows how many years. it's been made the same way and hasn't changed. No talk of honey or sugar or milk or water. The question was, do you want a complete change.

They said no. Then they complain about the porridge.

Nor was it even a generic question like you put. it was use the system we have or Alternative Vote. Clear and easy. yes or No. No grey area whatsoever.
