Not with the system we have now, 60% can vote across a good number of parties, the Torys maintain their solid 40% concentrated vote and with first past the post they win.
The system is a throwback to the days of the local squire being the MP, I think most western democracies employ some form of PR these days.
A government formed from the best people in all the parties would create a more united country where the people might get something closer to what they want.
I'd seriously take a look at the world of Lobbying as well if we truly want government to represent the nation and not be too heavily influenced by multinational companies and billionaires.

As I said to South Shore, I'm not interested in the AVFTT lefties quest for political reform.
I hear all you say but Boris/the Conservatives were able to form a Government - a massive majority in the house - because not everybody did want "shut of this lot".
If the electorate is of the opinion that there is a better alternative when it comes to the next GE, we will have a change of Government.
I'm just not sure that the opinions of those on here are as influential as some might think.
