Writer rips into Salient Proofreading Masses
Dear David,
Thanks for publishing my article on Electoral reform. However there are two proof reading mistakes that I feel I should point out so that the passages make sense.
In paragraph 3 delete lines 5 and 6 and read,., "electorate, being wasted (and the votes that constitute the winners majority in safe seats are also wasted since they do not affect the outcome) and creates".
In paragraph 4 between lines 5 and 6 insert; "election of 1975, if the following no. of people in the following electorates"....
The British General Election results are worth, referring to for those who want to see the injustices that can arise under the 1st past the post system (particularly 1951 and 1974 Feb). If anyone wants to discuss these issues I would be quite happy to.
