Thanks for the explanation!  I can see how this was useful when it was set up, but with today's communications 
as far as I can see the only benefit is to the politicians, so that they can concentrate on the undecideds, 
rather than having to deal with the whole country! 

Personally, I think the system we have (basically I get one vote which even if it goes my way decides 
everything the Government does for the next 5 years) is a terribly unrepresentative thing to call democracy...

Cheers,
