Mythbusting: deal-making behind closed doors

From a letter in The Herald:

"The current jockeying for position inside the Labour Party also shows that shoddy deals done among politicians are as much a feature of politics in a first-past-the-post electoral system as under proportional representation. The only difference is that they are within parties instead of between them."

[Duncan McFarlane, Carluke]
