Nah. I prefer my hyperbole

Hmmmm....now you lost me

Either i wasn't meant to take you literally when you said "every link", or i shouldn't be taking you literally when you say "I prefer my hyperbole"

He started it! *points finger*

What's fairer than one person one vote and the highest number of votes wins?

AV is beyond terrible. It's useless, and it won't solve anything.

this, very much this

firstly, i seems a bit off, that some people get their second choice taken into consideration, when others will not

secondly, if you didnt like a party enough to vote for them first time, having them get in on your second choice is a pretty poor alternative

i get postal vote and
have already said no to clegs "miserable little compromise"
one of britans most famus prime ministers hit the nail on the head Winston Churchhill said "AV means the most worthless votes for the most worthless candidates"

and after readin up on the subject on pro and anti websites im sure ive made the right descision

Today i got this A/V thingy in the post and after careful examination and further investigation i have come to a conclusion, and that is, they can take this A/V voting thing and stick it where the proverbial don't shine!

You have pretty much all day from like 8am to 10pm so there are *no* excuses for not voting if you are registered to do so!

You don't quite get to choose the voting system though....as true proportional representation on a national scale is not being offered

Thank **** for that!

well, to put it simply, I voted yes because of this simple senario

we have an area with 2 main parties A and B who generally fight over the seat, there is a 3rd party C which gets about 20% and several minor ones who turn up in funny hats and carrying bowls of custard (yes, one did that a few years ago) everyone who votes for A hates B, everyone who votes for B hates A, but they're loyal to their party, so they vote... and whichever party gets in roughly 40% of the voting population got EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE of what they wanted,

BUT, everyone says C would have been a middle of the road option, bit wet, but better than those other idiots...

so lets say 80% of A's voters vote C as 2nd choice, 80% of B's voters do the same, and of course, all of C's voters...

hmm, seems C got a lot of people who 'don't mind' them being in government..

(except C showed their true colours in the last election and are now branded with a big T on their forhead and people yelling 'unclean unclean! whenever they walk by)
