To AV, or not to AV?
 

Can't believe we've not had a thread on this. Or perhaps it's not so surprising, as very few people outside of the Westminster village seem to give a smeg.

What are your views? Will you vote on it today?

Re: To AV, or not to AV?
 

I did my postal vote weeks ago and voted no to AV.

Re: To AV, or not to AV?
 

Yup, I did my post vote a couple of weeks back.

Re: To AV, or not to AV?
 

I'll be voting in person ... Scottish parliament elections are also today so I will have three ballot papers to complete on my way out later this morning.

Re: To AV, or not to AV?
 

Will be voting later this evening.

No, will be my choice.

Re: To AV, or not to AV?
 

i will be voting -but i still don't know which way -if its a vote about AV why isn't there a third choice ???

Re: To AV, or not to AV?
 

Yes, why is the vote on AV done under first-past-the-post system?

Re: To AV, or not to AV?
 

Will be voting Yes to AV about time we got rid of this archaic Victorian FPTP system, most of the developed world do not use FPTP, they use AV of STV

Re: To AV, or not to AV?
 

What I find hard to accept is that something as important as this might well be determined by only 30% of the electorate. :confused:

I wonder what the turnout would be if it was a referendum on our membership of the EU......

Re: To AV, or not to AV?
 

Voted on the way to work this morning, and stuck my X next to 'Yes' :)

Re: To AV, or not to AV?
 

Voted Yes this Morning.

It's not going to win but I prefer some adjustment to the situation now. I live in a very safe Tory seat, the constituency contains some very wealthy areas of the UK but the town I live is more middle class to working class. We tend to return a mix of all three parties in the council election. Either way, My vote is often utterly pointless, along with most of my town, because the towns of the other side of Epping Forrest will return the same Tory MP.

I there are plenty of valid reasons to vote No. However the No campaign has been an utter disgrace, making up complete fabrications in their posters it's a wonder they got away with it. They made up the cost of the £250 million to switch to AV (And then had posters with babies saying they needed medical care and not a new voting system) when they included the cost of the referendum itself, voting machines that won't be needed, and invented another £50 million from heaven knows where.

Re: To AV, or not to AV?
 

I'd be interested to know how many people moan / whine about it adn didn't even bother to vote.

Re: To AV, or not to AV?
 

Anything the BNP are against I'm for..:D

Re: To AV, or not to AV?
 

They're against Britain being overrun by immigrants.
