    At General Elections the Liberal Democrats rightly whinge about the "First Past the Post" electoral system.

    After the local elections in the Vale of the White Horse this system returned 34 Lib Dem councillors and 4 Green Party representatives. The Conservatives who attracted the second largest number of votes overall in the district didn't get a single councillor elected.

    I wonder if the Lib Dems will make a fuss about this?
