FPP may be great if you want stability and certainty on election night, but I don't see that it automatically follows that it delivers greater stability or certainty over the 3 year term.

Well, I ended up watching some IPL cricket instead of the wedding. Tomorrow I shall celebrate the Royal Wedding further by heading up north to Yorkshire for the weekend. God bless their majesties!
